Directed by Rojin Thomas, Anushka Shetty will be playing a negative role in the movie, adding an intriguing dimension to the storyline. As per reports, the film tells the story of a 9th-century Christian priest, Kadamattathu Kathanar (played by actor Jayasurya) while Anushka will play Kalliyankattu Neeli, best described as the bloodthirsty ghost with divine beauty.
The makers of the film are trying to make it in two parts and release it at the Pan-India level. The first part is most likely to hit screens towards the end of this year and will be dubbed in English, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Bengali, Kannada, Bengali, Chinese, French, Korean, Italian, Russian, Indonesian and Japanese.
Anushka joined the first day of the shoot and shared an adorable picture with the makers of the film. Sharing on Instagram, she wrote, “Entered into the world of Kathanar – The Wild Sorcerer.”
Anushka's fans, who have watched her thriller films like ‘Bhaagamathie’ and ‘Arundhati’, are super excited as no one can beat the gorgeous beauty in portraying evil characters. It would be interesting to see her in a negative role in her debut movie in Malayalam.
On the professional front, the actress has been missing from the big screen for quite some time now and was last seen in ‘Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty’. Apart from Kathanar, the actress has a couple of more movies in her kitty.
However, fans are waiting for her to collaborate with Rebel star Prabhas for another high-budget movie.
Recently, an old video interview of the duo went viral in which the Baahubali actors can be seen talking about the scene from their movie ‘Mirchi’ in which Anushka is seen lifting Prabhas in saree with ease.
The video seemed to be from a promotional event when the interviewer asked them about that particular scene and questioned if Anushka had lifted Prabhas in real or it was a camera trick. To which, Prabhas said, “No. No. She really lifted me.” And went on to describe how the director said the shot was okay.
He also revealed that he was quite excited about the shot as the hero lifting the heroine is quite common but a heroine lifting the hero was a quite unique thing. Reportedly, Prabhas stood on a stool and after Anushka had caught him, the stool was removed.
However, he was sacred also and asked Anushka if she could do it before shooting. But to his surprise Anushka easily lifted him. Notably, this scene became one of the highlights of the movie.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Prabhas was last seen in Salaar which was a blockbuster. He will next be seen in Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD alongside Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan.
On the other hand Anushka Shetty is set to collaborate with director Krish for her next movie.
And it was proved once again a day ago when the Baahubali actress was spotted in Jeypore, Odisha. The way people gathered to get just one glimpse of the Lady superstar was enough to say that she continues to rule the hearts of her fans. Along with Anushka, her Baahubali co-star Ramya Krishnan was also in Jeypore as they are completing shooting for their upcoming film.
Reportedly, the first few shots of the movie were shot in the Koraput district’s Deomali Hill and will include a few scenes from the Surya Mahal, located on the main road of Jeypore. The team is also expected to shoot some scenes at the Jayanagar locality as well as in a park located near Jagannath Sagar.
More sequences are to be shot in the Deomali region and until then Anushka Shetty is expected to stay in Jeypore. Reservations have been made for the Tollywood star at a local hotel for accommodation and she is expected to stay here throughout the shoot in Deomali.

All the rooms at the hotel have been reserved for the entire team and crew until February 14 which means Sweety will be in Jeypore until then.
Both Ramya and Anushka have already shot some scenes in Chitrakoot and Tirathgarh located in Chhattisgarh’s Jagdalpur.
The security around the hotel has been beefed up. Despite all the security measures, a video clip of Anushka Shetty from inside the hotel has leaked online creating a frenzy among her fans on social media. Deomali is a popular tourist place and its picturesque mountain peaks often attract movie producers to schedule a shoot in these scenic locations.
Besides, this lady superstar of Southern cinema is known for being a very humble, dedicated, and good human being.

Makeup artist controversy
Years ago, Anuskha, also fondly called Sweety, was involved in a makeup artist controversy when the members of the Make-up Artist Union opposed her for hiring a makeup man from another state who was not a member of the Union.
Instead of removing her makeup artist after an uproar from the Tamil Film Workers Union, she simply decided to start doing her makeup.

— Anulika (@Anulika19904212) November 7, 2022
The controversy was triggered when she was shooting for Karthi’s Alex Pandian. When around 30 makeup artists from the union protested against Anushka Shetty for hiring a makeup professional outside the state, Karthi stepped in and tried to resolve the issue. But this stand of the workers whom she used to give elaborate gifts during the shooting hurt her, and Anushka instead started doing her makeup.
She was very hurt by the entire incident, especially after the workers hurled abuses at her, and decided not to give them any gifts. But her unit driver who has always been very kind and humble received a car as an expensive gift from Anushka Shetty after the movie's shooting was completed.
Rumoured linkups, education details, and more
Anushka Shetty, who is a graduate of Computer Science was a teacher in a school and had thought that it would be her career for the rest of her life. But later on, she learned Yoga from Bharat Thakur and started working as a Yoga teacher. It was here that she was noticed by some influential people from the Southern film fraternity and Anushka Shetty got her first movie.
Over the years, Sweety has been linked with a few stars the prominent ones being Nagarjuna Akkineni and Prabhas. Nevertheless, eventually, her affair rumours with the Shiva actor fizzled out as they were baseless, her connection and bonding with her Baahubali co-star Prabhas continue to date.

Both have repeatedly said that they are very good friends and are not in a romantic relationship, but fans continue to ship their pair as they have loved the chemistry between Prabhas and Anuskha in multiple movies in which they worked together.
Ormax Media recently released the ‘Most Popular Female Stars’ list, and Samantha was on the top of the list, leaving behind top actresses like Alia Bhatt and Nayanthara.
As per the Ormax Media, Samantha surpassed all top Bollywood actresses including Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt to top the list.
Ormax Stars India Loves: Most popular female film stars in India (Aug 2022) #OrmaxSIL pic.twitter.com/8TW95nNnjN
— Ormax Media (@OrmaxMedia) September 20, 2022
The Theri actress recently won millions of hearts with her dance moves in 'Oo Antava' song from Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna starrer 'Pushpa The Rise'. The song not only set the internet on fire, but also set many records.
Samantha's upcoming mythological drama 'Shaakuntalam' will hit the theatres on November 4. The makers of the magnum opus, directed by Gunasekhar, made the announcment on Friday.
Samantha, who seems to have taken a break from social media, surprised the fans by putting out a tweet that read, "November fourth it is. Thank you for the love. You have always been my strength.#Shaakuntalam".
Shaakuntalam is based on the popular play 'Shakuntala' by Kalidasa. Samantha will be seen playing the titular role while Dev Mohan will play Dushyanta.
Moreover, Samantha Ruth Prabhu is currently busy prepping for her upcoming project, 'Citadel' which is the Indian divergent of the umbrella series of the same name. It also star Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan.
For Sam, 'Citadel' is the second spy action drama after her hit OTT series, 'The Family Man 2'.
Besides, Samantha will be seen in 'Khushi' along with Vijay Deverakonda, and Yashoda which is directed by Hari and Harish.
Kajal Aggarwal and Anushka Shetty were spotted at number 4 and 10 respectively. And this has left fans confused because the duo is not seen in any movie for quite some time now.
"Wonder how #AnushkaShetty keep on holding her place in the top 10 female stars (All - India) even though she doesn’t had any releases over the past 2 years," wrote a Twitter user.
Another Twitterati wrote, "See how Kajal and Anushka maintaining their position even though they don't have any releases."
Alia was spotted at number 2, while Rashmika Mandanna and Keethy Suresh were on sixth and seventh positions respectively.
Kangana Ranaut
Obviously after Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi and Thalaivi, fans would love to see Kangana Ranaut play the role of Ahilyabai. The Queen of Bollywood has been pretty impressive in both these biopics and her look as Indira Gandhi from her upcoming film Emergency has also received appreciation. So Kangana should definitely be on the list.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Be it acing the role of Rajasthani princess in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Jodhaa Akbar or her dynamic and impressive look from Mani Ratnam’s upcoming movie Ponniyan Selvan, Ash has all the grace, beauty, and talent to give justice to the iconic character of Ahilyabai on the big screen.
Anushka Shetty
The Southern diva who is currently not very active in the film world has rocked some epic traditional characters like Devsena in Baahubali and in the titular role of Bhaagamathie. She is known for some stellar performances in Southern films and has enough maturity and understanding to give justice to the character of Ahilyabai on the big screen.
Kriti Sanon
Kriti who is off late known as Paramsundari after her song from the movie Mimi became a big hit has already played the historical role of Parvati Bai in 2019’s release Panipat. Next, she will be seen portraying the famous mythological character of Sita in Om Raut-helmed movie Adipurush starring Prabhas and Saif Ali Khan. With such an experience, she can also be a good choice to play Ahilyabai.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas
Priyanka is getting good offers from Hollywood and currently has only one Bollywood movie-Jee Le Zaraa with Alia and Katrina. But no one can forget her role as Kashi Bai in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani where the desi girl played a typical Maharashtrian royal queen. So PeeCee can be an ideal choice to play the typical Maratha queen from the Holkar dynasty.

Naga Chaitanya has been in the news for some time for his upcoming movie Thank You which will hit the theaters this week. But today he grabbed the limelight after Aamir Khan Productions revealed his first look as Balaraju from Laal Singh Chaddha. It will be his first Bollywood movie which also stars Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan and hence is quite a big deal for the Southern actor.

Vijay Deverakonda’s Liger trailer was released today and it has generated a good response. Fans have loved the transformation in the Tollywood actor which suits his role as an MMA fighter in the movie. Importantly, his yet unreleased movie, Jana Gana Mana with Pooja Hegde is already creating ripples. Reportedly, director Puri Jagannadh and the Geetha Govindam actor are planning a socio-fantasy drama that would be way different from what Vijay has done previously.
Prabhas
Baahubali was the turning point in the life of Prabhas. While he has failed to repeat the same level of success with his other latest releases, the hype for the Rebel star in the South continues to be big. Recently it was reported that Prabhas was seen on the sets of Project K in his swanky, red Lamborghini. While the superstar cannot be seen as the video clip has been taken from a distance, reportedly it was Prabhas driving the car at the midnight and enjoying driving since the roads are empty at that time.

Anushka Shetty celebrated 17 years in the film industry a day ago. And the day was celebrated on the sets of her upcoming movie with Naveen Polishetty by the production house UV Creations. Naveen shared the picture of the cake on his social media account and penned, “Bribed with cake.”
Nayanthara
The Tollywood superstar who married her long-time boyfriend Vignesh Shivan more than a month ago has reportedly hiked her fees post-marriage. Earlier she used to charge anywhere between Rs 7 to 8 crores. But now she is asking for Rs 10 crores per movie.
Even after 7 years, the Indian epic action film still remains refreshing in the minds of movie lovers.

While social media is flooding with posts celebrating the 7th anniversary of the movie, the makers, as well as the star cast, even are in awe of the remarkable day.

Undeniably, the Baahubali series, its story plot and the characters, as well as the actors, have become a part of the lives of movie lovers.
Both the magnum opuses were one of their kind and still remain the talk of the town. Even the recent movie from Rajamouli couldn't match the stature of the Baahubali series. Apart from the compelling story plot, the shooting sets and the spectacular Hollywood-like VFX offered the most enthralling cinematic experience to the audience.
While fans are well aware of different facts related to the magnum opuses, here we bring some more to relive the magnificent moment after 7 years.
Now, the latest report is that Anushka Shetty has finally given her nod for a new project which will star the Tollywood superstar Prabhas in the lead.
Tentatively titled Raja Deluxe, the movie will be directed by Maruthu and the official announcement of the same will be made during Dasara this year. The movie will also have two other leading ladies. The makers are yet to finalize the names of these actresses. Most probably, the producers will rope in one Bollywood actress to add more value to the project.

At this moment, her expression is the best example of it đđđ#Prabhas #AnushkaShetty pic.twitter.com/tHbLJVXLsq
Director Maruthu has already started working on the story and is expected to narrate the final draft to Prabhas in the upcoming few months. Reportedly, Maruthu is being assisted by a few more writers so that they can create content appealing enough to present Prabhas and Anushka Shetty. The movie will be produced by DVV Danayya and is expected to be shot in 2 to 3 schedules.
Prabhas is currently busy with multiple projects. After the debacle of Radhe Shyam, it is important for the superstar that all his upcoming movies win the hearts of the audience. Currently, he is working with KGF fame director Prashanth Neel for Salaar and with Nag Ashwin for Project K. He has already wrapped a few schedules for the mythological epic Adipurush directed by Om Raut.
On the other hand, Anushka Shetty is currently not working on any project and seems to be focusing more on her personal life these days.
As previously reported, Kajal Aggarwal's departure from the film has sparked speculation about who might appear in a role designed for a song featuring Chiranjeevi's love interest.
The makers have kept everything related to this under the wraps for now. It is also being talked that the makers wanted a surprise element for the audience who watch the movie in the theaters, and hence are not ready to reveal a thing about Anushka's cameo in the movie.
Acharya's promotion is in full swing, and the pre-release event was held on a grand scale the other day. The film is set to be released on April 29.
The buzz surrounding the film is positive, but it is insufficient given that it follows 'RRR' and 'KGF 2' and will face high expectations. Pooja Hegde plays the female lead opposite Ram Charan.
Post the movie’s release, several rumours of them dating each other surfaced while a few reports also claimed that the two were slated to tie the knot. However, over the years, the two have cleared the air multiple times and maintained that they are just close friends.
Anushka had earlier in an interview with a news portal also stated that Prabhas was one of her ‘3 AM friends’. But did you know that long ago, there was also a report that had hinted towards an incident where the ‘Saaho’ actor had stopped Anushka from getting married? Yes, you heard that right!
As per several reports, during the shooting of ‘Baahubali’, which had taken place within a span of 5 years, Prabhas had reportedly asked Anushka to focus on SS Rajamouli's films and refrain from getting married at that time.
And it seems that Anushka did take Prabhas’ advice to focus on their projects seriously, which is clear in the mammoth success that both the movies managed to garner. It is to be noted that the two actors have known each other for more than 15 years now and apart from ‘Baahubali’ 1 and 2, they have worked together in several hit films like ‘Mirchi’ and ‘Billa’.

Producer: Diptyranjita Patra
Taking to her microblogging page, Sweety shared a short clip announcing her new project making her fans happy.
Anushka Shetty Controversies and Linkups
Surprisingly, in a career spanning more than a decade, Anushka was rarely linked with any controversy or scandal which in itself is an accomplishment. However, once comedy actor Ali compared Anushka to Jalebi and also commented on her thunder thighs in Bigil. It created a lot of uproar as all the fan clubs of the beautiful diva slammed Ali for his comments.
Anushka has been linked up with many big stars including Nagarjuna, Gopichand and Prabhas. The Shiva actor launched her in the movies and also worked with her in a few other flicks. According to reports, the Arundhati actress was quite upset when she was linked with Gopichand and she reportedly even fired her driver for spreading such rumours.
Over the years, Anushka Shetty has worked in lots of hit projects, but most of her massive hits have been with the Rebel star Prabhas. Anushka and Prabhas have been rumoured to be having an affair for the last many years but both of them have repeatedly denied the linkup.
Prabhas and Anushka Movies That Broke Box-office Records
The Saaho actor first paired with Anushka in Billa (2009) which was a remake of a Tamil movie with the same name. Interestingly, the Tamil movie was reportedly the remake of the Amitabh Bachchan-led superhit movie Don released in 1978. Billa was a big hit and fans loved the pairing of Prabhas and Sweety.
Their next movie together was Mirchi (2013) which was a big blockbuster and earned a lot of appreciation and awards for the team. It was followed by the two Baahubali movies which created history in Indian cinema and also made its lead stars including Prabhas, Anushka and Rana Daggubati pan India favourites. The second movie from the Baahubali franchise is the biggest all-time Indian hit.
Different social media sites on Saturday got flooded with wishes for Prabhas on his special day. Heartfelt notes of fans and celebrities for the birthday boy enriched the celebration on social media.
His on-screen love interest/girlfriend/wife and real-life close friend Anushka Shetty shared a heartfelt note for Prabhas.
"Happy happy birthday wishing u only the best in all that life has to offer and may all ur stories reach out to as many hearts all over đ đ đ … happiness and health ur way đ #HappyBirthdayPrabhas" she captioned her post.
Meanwhile, Salaar Helmer and KGF fame Prashanth Neel wished the actor on behalf of his entire team.
He captioned his post: "Wishing our Commander, @actorprabhas sir a very Happy Birthday from #Salaar Territory"
Following Neel's wish, speculations are rife that Prabhas will be seen as a commander in the high-octane action-packed movie.
Currently, the Rebel star is one of the busiest actors of the Indian film industry giving a tough fight to OMG2 starring Akshay Kumar.
Like Action King Aki, Prabhas has multiple films in a row that include Radhe Shyam, Adipurush, Salaar, Project K and Spirit.
Prabhas kept his promise as made earlier. Three days back, the Darling actor sharing an update had announced that more about his character Vikramaditya will be revealed on his birthday. And, on his birthday, he shared a video which was an intro to his character in Radhe Shyam.
As reported earlier, Radhe Shyam will mark Prabhas' return to the romantic genre after several years. The speculations were based on the movie posters shared earlier by the makers. However, they had something hidden in between. After the introductory video of Vikramaditya got released today, the hidden twist came to public glare.
As shown in the video, Prabhas will be playing the character of Vikramaditya, who is a Palmist. The period romance film is set in Europe in the 1970s. The video begins with Prabhas' voice in the background: "I know you, but no, I won't tell you."
The video spanning around 1:18 minutes showed several random shots followed by Prabhas' glimpse who is captured in the frame walking a long distance.
The voice continued, "I can sense your death, but no, I won't tell you. I know everything, yet, I won't tell you. because it's beyond your understanding."
The close shot revealing the stature of Prabhas was immensely impressive and his introductory voice, "My name is Vikramaditya, I am no God, but I am not one of you either," must have given goosebumps to fans.
The visuals in the introductory video relate something else than speculated earlier by all. With a base of a romantic tale, Radhe Shyam has a pinch of thrill. Meanwhile, Vikramaditya being a palmist will be exploring much more than expected and his statements in the video have drawn suspense. Moreover, such a character will mark the beginning of a new chapter in Prabhas' acting career. More about the movie will be revealed with the release of the official trailer. So, fasten your seatbelts and get ready to witness the romantic-thriller movie in theatres.
Radhe Shyam is a multilingual movie starring Pooja Hegde as the lady lead and is all set to hit the theatres on January 14, simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi.
While the two superstars have always maintained that they are just good friends, there were rumours for years that Anushka and Prabhas are in a relationship and are going to marry in the future.
Even fans, who are in awe of this onscreen pair, have always shipped Pranushka and have always been eager to see them as a couple in real lives as well. So, when Anushka who is not very active on social media took to Instagram and wished the Darling actor on her microblogging page, fans became nostalgic and started shipping Pranushka and hearts.
While she may not be currently sharing the screen with Prabhas, as a good friend, she keeps on promoting his movies on her Instagram. The Nishabdham actress promoted Prabhas’ Saaho, its teaser, and the movie during its release.
While not much is known about Anushka Shetty’s upcoming projects, Prabhas is working on multiple big-budget movies all of which are slated for pan India release. On his birthday, the makers of Radhe Shaym, which will hit the theaters at the start of next month unleashed a character of Prabhas as Vikramaditya in the movie.

Going by the teaser, it seems that the romantic thriller that also stars Pooja Hegde in the lead is going to be laced with mystery. A day ahead of his birthday a filter with the words Global Prabhas Day written on the screen and melodious music that is a part of the teaser of Radhe Shyam was released.
The words were followed by a portrait accompanied by little snowfall.
Actress Anushka Shetty, who is one of the closest friends of Prabhas, joins the army to wish him on his birthday.
She shared a ravishing photograph featuring Prabhas and wrote a short, sweet note which has caught the attention of all. The photograph is apparently from the sets of the movie 'Mirchi', in which they were both seen together.
Prabhas and Anushka are some of the most hyped on-screen pairs, as they also share the credits of starring in the world-famous Telugu movie 'Baahubali'.
Their pair in 'Mirchi' is still considered one of the best on-screen couples. Prabhas and Anushka were seen together in the movie 'Billa' as well.
"Happy happy birthday wishing u only the best in all that life has to offer and may all ur stories reach out to as many hearts all over world. happiness and health ur way #HappyBirthdayPrabhas," Anushka's post reads.
If the rumours are anything to go by, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is considering to field Prabhas as an MLA candidate in 2019 polls in Andhra Pradesh.
Rumours mills are also churning that the saffron party is planning to appoint Prabhas' uncle Krishnam Raju as the Governor of the state, quite interesting rumour though it has no base.
According to a report of IBTimes, the BJP is mulling an invitation to Krishnam Raju and Prabhas to Delhi to hold a discussion in this regard.
If any such thing happens, it is believed that Krishnam Raju might accept the offer of the BJP but Prabhas, who is at the peak of his career and being a person who is so shy talking in public, down-to-earth and honest, might not want to join politics.
Besides, the Baahubali star has a lot of projects in hand and it might not be possible for him to get time for hectic campaigns and more.
Meanwhile, the truth is 'there is no truth to all these rumours' as neither has Prabhas' uncle nor has the actor himself made any confirmation about any such plans.
On the work front, the high-octane action thriller of Prabhas, which is much awaited movie, is expected to hit the theaters on August 15, 2019.
If the new rumour is anything to go by, the Rebel star might tie the knot after release of 'Saaho' in August 15, 2019. According to a report of Sakshi Post, Prabhas' uncle Krishnamraju has revealed that the actor will tie the knot after 'Saaho' hits the screens.
Krishnamraju had earlier said that Prabhas would get hitched after the Baahubali franchise's second installment hit the theaters. However, 'Saaho' might have changed the mind of Prabhas.
While rumours are still making rounds about the dates of Prabhas' marriage, the big question is... Who is the lucky girl? No doubt, fans wants Prabhas and Anushka Shetty to marry but the duo had already rubished the rumours earlier and clarified that they are just good friends.
Besides, there were rumours that Prabhas will marry to a top industrialist's daughter. Later, another rumour hit the newsstands that the actor will marry a top actor's daughter. While all these speculations have no base and found false, it is to see to who becomes the life partner of Prabhas.
The reason why such rumours abrupted is obvious... After Baahubali, Anushka was last seen in Bhaagamathie. Her powerful performance in the movie mesmerised fans and put them in awe. However, as there are no news of Anushka shooting or signing any film as of now, speculations of her quitting movies hit the newsstands.
Moreover, rumours are also there that Anushka has taken a break as her family members are busy searching a Mr Perfect for her. Earlier, her family had performed puja to speed up her marriage.
Reports are also there that Anushka is waiting for good projects and she has already rejected several roles as they didn't fit her.
On the other hand, the rumours have saddened the fans of Anushka- the powerhouse of talent. But they are quite confident that they will soon get to watch their favourite actress on the silver screen.
Prabhas and Anushka were recently seen together at the wedding of SS Rajamouliâs son Karthikeya, giving their fans another chance to talk about their alleged blossoming love.

Spilling beans about the rumours of his dating Anushka, Prabhas said that he is not dating her by instantly saying âNoâ, adding that when people works together for years, they definitely get closes but that doesn't mean he is dating Anushka.
Meanwhile, when Rana was asked who he would like Prabhas to date, he promptly said Katrina Kaif. Shock... ? Well, given the fact that the Bollywood actress is curently single the choice is fine but the fans of Prabhas don't want the Rebel star to date the 'Zero' actress ever for obvious reasons.
Soon after Rana's statement, fans vented their irk on several social media platforms with some saying better Prabhas stay single instead of dating the 'Bang Bang' star.
Well, fans might have their own reason that why they don't want a Prabhas-Katrina chemistry.
Moreover, on Prabhas' marriage, SS Rajamouli said, "I think Prabhas wonât get married as he is lazy. Going through the entire process of finding the girl, doing the invitations, calling people and the ceremonies, itâs too much. He is lazy to get married."

If rumours are to be believed in the upcoming project of Prabhas with Radha Krishna Kumar, Anushka will be seen playing an important role. While Pooja Hegde has already been roped in to play the female lead in the movie, which is yet to be titled, Anushka is said to be signed to play role in the flashback scenes.
However, no official confirmation on Anushka's engagement in the movie has come so far.
Earlier rumours were also making rounds that Prabhas and Anushka would be seen together again in a Bollywood project. Rumours were also there that Baahubali Prabhas would be seen in a lead role along with Bollywood Prince Ranveer Singh in a multi-starrer to be produced by Karan Johar.
On the work front, Prabhasâ âSaahoâ is expected to hit the theaters next year. Bollywood stars like Shraddha Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Mandira Bedi will be seen sharing screen space with Prabhas in the high-octane action movie.

On personal front, there have been rumours of Anushka and Prabhas marriage since the day of the release of the first part of 'Baahubali. However, both the actors have refuted the rumours.

"It is a bit embarrassing to answer this question in every interview. Prabhas will get married this year. He is willing to," Raju said.
Of all, Prabhas is currently busy shooting âSaahoâ in which Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor will be seen by his side.
The release date of âSahooâ is yet to be announced.
As the blockbuster film franchise -- which has set new box office records for Indian films -- comes to an end, audiences can still continue rooting for the characters from the world of "Baahubali" via comics, animation series and novels.
"We created the world of 'Baahubali' for our actors to understand their character better. When we look at Baahubali and Bhallaladeva, the warring brothers, what we see in the film is just a minor part of their lives. In the 'Baahubali' universe, there is so much more worth knowing about them. The same applies to other characters too," Rajamouli told IANS.
With child-like enthusiasm, he added: "The world of 'Baahubali' is so fascinating. I wish it doesn't end. It shouldn't end and I will pray for it."
It's the urge to tell those stories which couldn't be included in the films, that persuaded Rajamouli and his team to explore other mediums.
"There are backstories for each character in the world of 'Baahubali'... Some really powerful scenes which needed to be told. Unfortunately, film medium has its own limitation and not all stories work very well in it. The story of Sivagami, for instance, is so powerful and exhaustive, we realised it will work wonders as a novel," Rajamouli explained.
Sivagami's story has been turned into a three-part novel. "The Rise of Sivagami" by Anand Neelakantan is the first book in the trilogy.
Talking about the "Baahubali" universe being expanded into an animation series titled "Baahubali: The Lost Legends", Rajamouli said he's a big fan of the medium.
"I'm a huge fan of Disney's films. Lately, I have been fascinated by 3D animation and I'm glad we could visualise 'Baahubali' universe through this medium. Even though it doesn't cater to a larger audience as cinema, it's widely popular and fast catching up in India," he said, taking pride in partnering with Graphic India and Amazon Prime Video for this initiative.
The second episode from "Baahubali: The Lost Legends" will be unveiled on Friday on Amazon Prime.
Asked if he would like to direct an animation film outside the world of "Baahubali", Rajamouli said: "As exciting as the idea sounds, it took us five years to take 'Baahubali' to the audience. It's going to be a very time-consuming process and I don't think I can afford so much time on a project again."
Talking about the golden run of "Baahubali 2" at the ticket window, Rajamouli said he is still "in a state of daze".
"I'm going to be honest and tell you that we wanted this kind of success. We strove hard and longed for it. When we achieved it, it's so hard to believe that I still cannot come to terms with this overwhelming feeling. It's tough to believe if this success is even real," he said.
Will this success mean he will aspire to make something bigger next?
"My long-time desire is to make a film on Mahabharat. You can imagine the scale on which it has to be made and it will be beyond anybody's imagination. It's been on my mind for quite long but I don't know yet when it will happen."
Does he also feel that films such as "Sanghamitra" and Mohanlal's "Randamoozham", to be made on a lavish budget, are merely imitating the path taken by "Baahubali"?
"I think 'Baahubali' has proven there is a market. There will be both kinds of films. The first kind of films will be backed by a fantastic script and a visionary director. There will also be other type of films that will be made because there is market," he added.
The "Lootera" star is in total awe of S.S Rajamouli's creation which has emerged as the country's biggest blockbuster.
"'Baahubali'. OMFG," Ranveer tweeted on Tuesday.
The second part in the "Baahubali" franchise has amassed over Rs. 1400 crore so far and counting.
The film has crushed box-office records across languages. It collected over Rs. 400 crore from its dubbed Hindi version alone.
Starring Prabhas and Rana Daggubati as the male protagonists, the film is about the warring battle between them for the ownership of an ancient kingdom.
Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishnan and Sathyaraj played pivotal roles in the film.
Ahead of the release of "Baahubali: The Conclusion" on April 28, the first part is being re-released in select theatres on April 7.
"When a movie continues to be topical for two years, you know people love every bit of it! Both, exhibitors and film lovers, have approached us to make 'Baahubali' a binge-watching experience," Karan, who will be distributing the Hindi version of the film, said in a statement.
"Hence, we are re-releasing the first part on April 7 with a special offer that takes care of tickets for both parts. We're excited. April will witness the biggest movie event ever," he said.
The franchise has a huge fan following owing to its larger-than-life content and fans are eagerly looking forward to watch Prabhas and the entire cast go a notch higher than its predecessor in giving the audience a splendid cinematic experience.
Produced by Arka Entertainment, directed by S.S. Rajamouli, the film stars Prabhas in the title role in addition to Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah Bhatia, Anushka Shetty, Sathyaraj and Ramya Krishnan in pivotal roles.
Actor Rana Daggubati, who plays Bhallaladeva in the film, shared the 12-second video on his Twitter page.
The video give us a quick glimpse of a bleeding Prabhas, who plays Baahubali.
On Thursday, the film's trailer will be released in four languages - Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam.
On April 28, the film will have a simultaneous release in all the four languages.
Also starring Tamannaah Bhatia, Anushka Shetty, Sathyaraj and Ramya Krishnan, the film is about the battle for an ancient kingdom between two brothers.
With this, now another question that leaves fans pondering- whether Anushka Shetty will be the bride for Prabhas?
No doubt both the actors have time and again denied and rebuffed all the news and confirmed that they are just good friends, but their chemistry in Baahubali was so mesmerising that fans could never stop expecting the on-screen couple to be an off-screen reality.
However, hard luck fans- itâs not going to happen as the Baahubali stars are having a special bonding of friendship.
Meanwhile, reports are there that family of Prabhas has finally decided to get him married after the release of âSaahoâ- an indication that the marriage might take place in mid-2019.
Moreover, some media reports even claim that Prabhasâ family has already finalised the bride. This could give a sigh of relief to fans as news was earlier there that Prabhas has rejected over 6000 marriage proposals for Anushka Shetty.
Bollywood is already gearing for Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt and Priyanka Chopra-Nick Jonas marriage but it seems Prabhas marriage will get the most attention across India for reasons that all know.
On the work front, Prabhasâ next, which is a high-octane action movie, will be releasing next year. The film cast includes Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor along with Neil Nitin Mukesh and veteran actor Jackie Shroff.
However, it didn't happen the way fans of the duo had been expecting. To be candid, fans' expectation was obvious in view of the relentless dating rumours of the duo making the headlines almost every other day.
Importantly, as Prabhas and Anushka had earlier already rubbished the dating rumours, fans were expecting exchange of some unique friendship messages between them. But it didn't happen!! And this gave birth to several rumours and fans started thinking whether Prabhas and Anushka's friendship meets its  end.
Besides, it is said rumoured that Prabhas is much more concern about his friendship with Anushka and he doesn't want her to get hurt with all unwanted rubbished questions to be thrown at her. And that's the reason Prabhas is avoiding Anushka with whom he shares a friendship since a decade.

Moreover, Anushka did share a Friendhip Day message on her Instagram account but it was just a general one writing, "A real friend is one who walks in when rest of the world walks out.â #HappyFriendshipDay
https://www.instagram.com/p/BmG1994lAJH/?hl=en&taken-by=anushkashettyofficial
While this message shows that the 'Bhaagamathie' actress is also serious not to let media create baseless rumours again, her message itself created confusion among some fans who started thinking "who walks out of Anushka's life"...
Whatever rumour mills may churn, the truth is that the 'Young Rebel Star' and the 'Arundhati' actress a real friendship goal.
On work front, Anushka will next be seen in lead role in 'Rampachodavaram'- another sensational film in her career which is a story set in 1930.

'Saaho' is expected to hit the theaters late this year or early 2019.
In the midst of all these rumours, for the first time ever, Anushka Shetyâs mother has responded to all these rumours and she has all good to say about Prabhas.
The âBhaagamathieâ actressâ mother wants Anushka to tie the knot soon and we know it given that the actressâ family recently performed puja to get a good groom for the Queen of the South.
Responding to Prabhas-Anushka marriage rumours, Sakshi Post quoted the actressâ mother as saying: âThey both are stars and have acted together. I would love to get Prabhas like Mr. Perfect for Anushka but they are just good friends. Stop spreading rumors about their marriage."
With this, one can expect that the rumours surrounding the duo getting married are just false and without any base.
Besides, Anushka had earlier denied marriage with Prabhas and said that Prabhas and she were just friends. She had said, âPrabhas and I are not getting married. Please do not expect Baahubali and Devasena-like chemistry in real life. It is only for the screen.â
On the work front, Prabhas is currently busy shooting for his next high-octane action thriller âSaahoâ. May Bollywood stars like Shraddha Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Mandira Bedi.

Meanwhile, since SS Rajamouli featured Prabhas and Anushka Shetty in the lead role (as couple) in the movies, fans of the duo have been wondering whether they can witness love flourishing between then off-screen too. And this gives birth to numerous rumours and every single bit of news related to the duo is getting exaggerated.
Recently, Prabhasâ uncle Krishnam Raju, an actor-turned-politician, opened up about the marriage of the âYoung Rebel Starâ. He said in an interview that Prabhas told him that he will get married soon, India Today reported.
This indicates that Prabhas has already decided to tie to knot. However, thereâs no news related to the lucky girl with whom he will walk down the aisle.
About Anushka Shetty, fans already know that both Prabhas and Anushka have repeatedly rebuffed the rumours and clarified that they are just good friends and fans shouldnât expect of-screen âBaahubali and Devasenaâ.
Earlier during an interview with TV5 News, when Prabhas was asked whether he prefers love marriage or will go for arranged marriage, he said: âI donât have clarity about marriage then how could I say about marriage. It should be arranged-cum-loveâŠJust Iâm kidding. So, basically I donât have clarity about marriage. Then how can I tell about my marriage.â
So, fans will have to wait till Prabhas come up with the much awaited news for his fans.
For the first time, the âYoung Rebel Starâ has opened up about the rumoured relationship with Anushka.
It is worth mentioning that Anushka had earlier denied marriage with Prabhas and said they were just friends. However, it was hard for fans to believe.
âPrabhas and I are not getting married. Please do not expect Baahubali and Devasena-like chemistry in real life. It is only for the screen,â Anushka had said.
However, her clarification had failed to put a full stop on all those gossips.
Now, Prabhas has reportedly rubbished all these speculations related to his relationship.
While stating that many people ask him about his affairs and marriage plans, Prabhas said he doesn't want to reveal his private life, reported E Times.

The Baahubali also said that when he does decide to get engaged, he will reveal it himself.
This statement of Prabhas clearly states that the actor, who is not only known for his acting skill but also for his humble and down to earth attitude, will reveal it to his fans if something will really happen.
On the work front, Prabhas is currently shooting for âSaahoâ- a high-octane action movie. Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor will be seen as the female lead in the movie.
âSaahoâ is expected to hit the threaters late this year or early next year.
Devasena and Shivuduâs chemistry was so much liked by fans that they want the duo to be seen as a couple off-screen too. On the other hand, rumours related to the duo that they are dating and in relationship have been hitting the newsstands even though the actors have denied of being in relationship and even clarified that they are just good friends.
Meanwhile, Prabhas and Anushka can never be anything more than close buddies, because of their family circumstances, E Times Entertainment reported citing an entertainment portal which further quoted a source and claimed that parents of Prabhasâ would never accept Anushka or any girl whom he chooses as they are extremely conservative and for them, love marriage is a taboo.
The source further revealed that Prabhas are Anushka share a very strong friendship however it could never be turned into marriage, adding that Prabhas is extremely close to his father and uncle and seems, he will never act against their will.
On the work front, Prabhas is currently busy shooting for âSaahoâ- a high octane action flick. The movie has Kenny Bates as its stunt director.
Bates has worked on Hollywood movies like Mission: Impossible â Ghost Protocol, Pearl Harbor, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and The Fast and the Furious. So, fans can expect getting goosebumps while watching all those action scenes.

While many leading ladies of Tollywood have taken over the silver screen now, not many know that even Anushka was offered a Bollywood film years before it became a trend.
It happened so that Rohit Shetty was planning to remake the Suriya’s Singham in Hindi with Ajay Devgn as the lead. For the part of the female lead, he tried casting Shetty, who was also a part of the original Singham. However, things didn’t pan out as per plan and Kajal Aggarwal got the role.
Sweety later addressed these reports and clarified that the paycheck wasn’t very inviting and she didn’t find other offers from Mumbai that exciting as well. As per reports, Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn were however very upset with the South diva rejecting their role.
It is interesting to note here that one of the reasons, Anushka didn’t take up the big Bollywood offer was because she was at that time busy prepping for Baahubali and she wanted to focus more on the Prabhas starrer. And rest is history! Without making a Bollywood debut, Anushka Shetty became a nationwide sensation along with Prabhas.
