Prabhas’
Movie
With
‘HanuMan’
Director
Prasanth
Varma:
According
to
a
report
by
Track
Tollywood,
the
much-anticipated
collaboration
between
actor
Prabhas
and
HanuMan
director
Prasanth
Varma
appears
to
have
hit
a
major
setback.
The
project,
which
had
been
confirmed
by
Prasanth
Varma
himself
earlier
this
year,
is
now
said
to
be
shelved
following
reported
scheduling
conflicts
involving
the
actor.
As
per
the
report,
a
photoshoot
for
the
untitled
film
had
already
taken
place
a
few
months
ago,
indicating
that
initial
pre-production
work
was
underway.
However,
recent
updates
suggest
that
the
film
may
have
been
cancelled
altogether.
Prabhas
reportedly
has
chosen
to
step
away
from
the
project
owing
to
his
packed
shooting
calendar
and
multiple
ongoing
commitments.
Project
Status
Uncertain
Amid
Prabhas’
Packed
Schedule
Prabhas
is
currently
engaged
with
two
large-scale
productions,
The
Raja
Saab
and
Fauji.
After
wrapping
up
these
ventures,
he
is
expected
to
begin
work
on
Spirit,
followed
by
the
sequels
Kalki
2
and
Salaar
2.
Both
The
Raja
Saab
and
Fauji
are
reportedly
being
developed
as
franchise
films,
ensuring
that
the
Baahubali
star’s
schedule
remains
tightly
booked
for
the
foreseeable
future.
While
the
official
reason
for
the
project’s
cancellation
has
not
been
confirmed,
Track
Tollywood
notes
that
there
could
be
other
factors
behind
the
decision
apart
from
scheduling,
though
no
statement
has
been
released
by
either
party.
This
development
marks
another
setback
for
filmmaker
Prasanth
Varma,
whose
recent
lineup
has
seen
a
series
of
cancellations.
His
previously
announced
collaboration
with
Bollywood
actor
Ranveer
Singh
was
shelved
shortly
after
it
was
announced,
followed
by
the
termination
of
a
planned
project
with
Mokshagna,
the
son
of
Telugu
actor
Nandamuri
Balakrishna.
With
the
Prabhas
project
now
reportedly
off
the
table,
Prasanth
Varma
is
expected
to
shift
his
focus
back
to
his
upcoming
film,
Jai
Hanuman.
The
project
is
said
to
be
a
spiritual
sequel
to
his
successful
2024
film
HanuMan
and
is
among
the
most
anticipated
Telugu
films
currently
in
development.
Fans
of
both
Prabhas
and
Prasanth
Varma
are
now
waiting
for
an
official
update
to
confirm
whether
the
collaboration
has
indeed
been
dropped
or
merely
postponed
or
if
all
these
are
just
rumors.
