READ | Story more exciting for me than actors: Nag Ashwin on film with Prabhas, Deepika

The multi-lingual film is backed by the South Indian production house Vyjayanthi Movies, popular for projects such as Mahanati, Agni Parvatam and Indra. This is the first time Prabhas collaborates with Big B or Deepika. The two Bollywood stars have earlier worked together in the films Aarakshan and Piku.

If reports are to be believed, the upcoming film is reportedly a futuristic drama set in 2050s. The buzz around one of the highly anticipated films also suggests that Nag Ashwin has amped up the narrative by adding the threads of biological warfare and man-made viruses which will reflect the elements of the current scenario. In the multi-lingual film backed by the South Indian production house Vyjayanthi Movies, Prabhas will be seen playing a larger-than-life character.
