He worked on pre-production of Adi Purush for more than 16 months to give Prabhas, a narration. Looking at the preparedness of the director, impressed by his vision, Prabhas accepted the offer.

Now, we hear that the team wants to block the dates of other cast members early enough to start shooting from October or November, 2021. As the film involves major VFX portions and big sets, this one year time, will be used to plan the shoot perfectly and complete it in shorter time. Post production works might take up to 8 months to one year time, say reports.

Prabhas will complete his film with director, Nag Ashwin and lead actress, Deepika Padukone, before joining Adi Purush. Well, the Mahanati connection for Prabhas might not stop with Nag Ashwin, director of his next and Mahanati.
