Radha Krishna to direct Prabhas’ next

‘Jil’ helmer Radha Krishna, who had told The Hans India recently that there is a proposal from UV Creations to make a ‘poetic love story’ with Ram Charan, seems to have found another hero. Yes, Hans Talkies has learnt that Radha Krishna has managed to impress UV in-house hero Prabhas with the same script.

A source close to the development confirms, “He has been working on the script relentlessly for the past few months. After talks with Charan didn’t yield desired results, he knocked the doors of Prabhas.

The actor gave a thumbs-up to it in the first sitting itself and asked the director to develop it further keeping in mind his following. He even suggested some minor changes, which the director agreed upon.” As expected the project will be bankrolled by UV Creations that produced Radha Krishna’s ‘Jil’.

However, Prabhas is expected to start ‘Run Raja Run’ fame Sujeeth Sign’s film next, after which he would begin shooting for Radha Krishna’s romantic drama, marking his return to the genre after a long while.

The actor was supposed to commence shooting for Sujeeth’s film sometime back itself, but due to the unprecedented response to ‘Baahubali’, he decided to allocate his calendar —the first half of 2016— for the second part.
