After Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, Prabhas to make Hindi debut with Karan Johar?

Filmmaker Karan Johar recently convinced Telugu superstars Prabhas and Rana Daggubati to fly down to Mumbai to promote their upcoming film, SS Rajamouli’s war epic Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Johar, who has purchased the rights of the Hindi version of the film, managed to make a reserved person like Prabhas talk about the film passionately.

Prabhas’ popularity is suggested by the fact that Baahubali: The Beginning was the first dubbed film to cross the Rs 100 crore mark in the Hindi film industry. Johar has already collaborated with Daggubati in films like Ayan Mukerji’s 2013 romantic comedy Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and the recently released Sankalp Reddy’s underwater war drama The Ghazi Attack.

DNAreports that Johar now wants to project Prabhas as an action romance star in Hindi cinema. He has in fact roped in Rajamouli to direct the film, marking the Telugu filmmaker’s fifth collaboration with Prabhas after the 2012 Tamil actioner Chanthiramouli, the 2013 fantasy film Brahmarishi Vishwamitra and the Baahubali franchise.

However, Prabhas has claimed that he will take a break from high-octane action films for a few years as shooting a physically exhausting film like Baahubali for the last five years has taken a toll on his health.  Thus, there is no official word of confirmation about his Hindi debut from Prabhas, Johar or Rajamouli yet.

Baahubali: The Conclusion also stars Tamannaah Bhatia, Sathyaraj and Anushka Shetty. It is produced by Shobhu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni’s Arka Media Works. It will release simultaneously in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam and is slated to release on 28 April.
