The Baahubali film series holds a special place in Indian film history and one of the core reasons for the success is its incredible story. Written by the veteran screenwriter
K.V. Vijayendra Prasad
, the two-part series was a watershed moment in the country’s cinematic landscape as it pushed the boundaries of creativity, imagination, and scale. Directed and co-written by his own son
S.S. Rajamouli, the films achieved a staggering Rs. 2,500 Crore mark at the box office and raised the bar for everyone around. Consequently,
Vijeyandra Prasad
went on to pen scripts and stories for an array of films that includes the mighty ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan(2015)’, ‘Manikarnika (2017)’, and ‘Mersal (2019)’.
Now, according to the latest reports, it is apparent that Vijayendra Prasad would soon be writing a script for a Kannada film. Having previously written actor/politician
Nikhil Kumar’s launch vehicle ‘Jaguar (2016)’, the prospective project would only be his fifth in the language and possibly, the most interesting one.
The same reports suggest that the new project includes the young and upcoming actor Manoj Puttur. Manoj, who will potentially feature in all his upcoming projects with the screen name ‘Avatar’, was previously seen in films like ‘Kudla Café (2016)’, ‘Kumari 21F (2018)’, and ‘Parasanga (2018)’. The duo, having met at a shoot in Hyderabad, were instantly connected through a desire to work together and when Vijayendra Prasad gave the actor a brief narration of his new thrilling idea, things got all-the-more exciting.
The project could be expected to go on floors by the beginning of March, 2021 and is being planned to be released in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu alongside. With such grand plans in the pipeline and revered experts such as K.V. Vijayendra Prasad by the side, the future certainly looks bright for
Manoj Puttur a.k.a Avatar
. Vijeyandra Prasad has also written the story for the upcoming epic saga ‘
Roudram Ranam Rudhiram
(2021)’.
