Lokesh Kanagaraj to direct Prabhas!

Recently, speculations were rife about Lokesh joining hands with Telugu superstar Prabhas. In a recent interview, Lokesh confirmed the news, suggesting, the project with Prabhas was definitely on the cards.

Lokesh, however, refrained from committing the timeline as to when this said project will go on the floors.

Post Leo, Lokesh has a series of high-profile films lined up with top stars, including Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan and Suriya. He can only move on to other projects after completing all movies in his LUC, which means Lokesh Cinematic Universe, series.

In the meantime, Prabhas is now waiting for the release of Salaar. Written and directed by Prashanth Neel, Salaar is one of the most awaited movies of 2023. It will be released in two parts. The first part will arrive in cinemas on December 22, clashing with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's Salaar.

Following this Prabhas is expected to join hands with director Maruthi. And he also has a multi-crore science fiction project Kalki 2898 AD, which is also touted to be a movie franchise.
