Prabhas to Play Parashurama in Upcoming Mythological Epic ‘Ramayana’?

When you think of Prabhas, his physique is what immediately comes to mind for everyone. His stature has greatly aided his rise as a Pan-India star. When Prabhas performs an action sequence, it feels real to the audience. Not just action, his stature fits well even for mythological characters. Prabhas has already appeared as Lord Rama in ‘Adipurush,’ as Karna in ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ and there’s talk that he will be seen as Nandi in the upcoming ‘Kannappa.’ Amidst this, there’s exciting news related to Prabhas that he will also be portraying Parashurama soon. Let’s dive into the details now.

Prabhas as Parashurama!

It’s known that a movie titled ‘Ramayana’ is currently being filmed in Bollywood, with Ranbir Kapoor playing Rama and Sai Pallavi as Sita. The director, Nitesh Tiwari, wants to make the wedding scene of Sita and Rama a visual feast. In this context, the character of Parashurama is crucial, being the avatar that precedes Rama in the dashavatara (ten incarnations) of Vishnu. Nitesh thinks it fitting that a star of equal stature to Ranbir, who is playing Rama, should portray Parashurama. Hence, he is considering Prabhas for this role. There’s buzz in B-Town that Prabhas has been approached for this. Bollywood circles suggest that Prabhas has agreed to the role, with an official announcement expected soon. However, his role in the film is said to be brief but impactful.

Star Couples as Villains

Prabhas is set to work on a film directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga (of ‘Animal’ fame), titled ‘Spirit.’ The script phase is already underway. Recently, there have been substantial reports that Kareena Kapoor will be acting in this film and that Saif Ali Khan will play a villain. The latest buzz is that Kareena Kapoor will also portray a character with negative shades in ‘Spirit.’ Real-life couple Kareena and Saif are rumored to be playing villains in this film, which awaits further confirmation.

Police vs Mafia Don!

‘Spirit’ is rumored to feature Prabhas in a dual role, stirring strong buzz. The script work is said to be complete, with only the dialogues left to be finalized. If rumors are to be believed, Prabhas will be seen as a police officer in one role and as a mafia don in another, with the latter having negative shades. Fans are confident that if this turns out to be true, it will be a blockbuster at the box office. In celebration of Prabhas’s birthday on October 10, a special poster is expected to be released, with ‘Spirit’ set to go on floors by January 25 of the next year. Meanwhile, Prabhas has previously done dual roles in movies like ‘Billa,’ ‘Baahubali,’ and ‘Baahubali 2,’ and is rumored to be doing the same in the upcoming ‘Raja Saab.’

Periodical Love Story!

Prabhas and Hanu Raghavapudi are known to be teaming up for a film. Recently, a puja ceremony was held concerning this movie, which is rumored to be a period action love drama. Set against the backdrop of the Razakars era, during the time of Hyderabad’s accession to India, director Hanu Raghavapudi has reportedly crafted a beautiful love story. The film, tentatively titled ‘Fauji’ (meaning soldier), will reportedly feature Prabhas as an Indian paramilitary soldier. Iman Ismail is set to star as the heroine and has already participated in the recent puja events, capturing attention on social media with her looks.
