Shahid Kapoor Finds Another Telugu Director For His Next!

Bollywood’s handsome hero Shahid Kapoor is selecting one Telugu director after another to score hits. He worked with Sandeep Reddy Vanga on ‘Kabir Singh’ which was a remake of ‘Arjun Reddy’. Telugu director Goutham Tinnanuri worked with Shahid Kapoor for ‘Jersey’ which is a remake of the Tollywood film of the same name starring Nani in the lead. Shahid scored a hit with ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljah Jiya’ and there is an interesting news going around regarding his upcoming project.

Apparently, Shahid found another Telugu director to work with and it is none other than Vamsi Paidipally. After ‘Maharshi’, Vamsi went to Kollywood and made ‘Varisu’ with Thalapathy Vijay. Sources say that he is going to Bollywood now. Paidipally narrated a script to Shahid and the latter reportedly liked it a lot. If this news turns out to be true, Dil Raju will be bankrolling this film under his Sri Venkateswara Creations banner.

The ‘Munna’ director is currently fine-tuning the script and the pre-production works are expected to begin soon. On the work front, Shahid is expected to feature in the second season of hit web-series ‘Farzi’ and he is also working on ‘Deva’ which is expected to arrive in October. Pooja Hegde is the heroine in it while Siddharth Roy Kapur is the producer. Let us wait and see if Vamsi Paidipally works with Shahid in the coming days or not.

Will She Be A Perfect Match For Prabhas Onscreen?

Prabhas is working on multiple projects at the moment. A lot of heroes are unable to release one film per year these days. Pan-Indian heroes are taking 2-3 years for a single movie but a star like Prabhas is going on full speed with 4-5 projects in his hand. The Rebel Star arrived with ‘Salaar: Ceasefire’ in December and ‘Adipurush’ was released in June 2023. His much-awaited ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is going to hit the screens soon. After that, Prabhas is going to work on ‘Raja Saab’, ‘Salaar 2’ and ‘Spirit’.

Along with these projects, it has been stated that the ‘Baahubali’ hero will join hands with ‘Sita Ramam’ director Hanu Raghavapudi. Set in a period backdrop, it is going to be a love story as expected and this project is raising a lot of curiosity even before getting started. Sources say that the regular shooting will commence once Prabhas completes the projects in his hands.

There is a lot of discussion going on regarding the heroine in the movie. Many names including Sreeleela, Mrunal and other Bollywood beauties were attached to this project. The latest we hear is that Hanu Raghavapudi has finalized on Janhvi Kapoor as the heroine. The official news has not announced but insiders say that the ‘Dhadak’ actress might romance Prabhas onscreen soon.

People are curious to see if this pair works out on the screen. Janhvi is quite young and Prabhas is not at his handsome best lately. Also, Hanu’s films usually need heroines to perform brilliantly and Janhvi is yet to prove herself as an actress. We need to see how things work out if Janhvi becomes the heroine. Currently, she is working on ‘Devara’ with NTR and another pan-Indian film with Ram Charan as the lead. She has a couple of Hindi films in her hand too.
