Prabhas - Hanu Raghavapudi Combo Set with a Whopping Budget?

Prabhas has a number of movies coming out, including Salaar, which opens on December 22. He has also made promises to directors like Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Maruthi about further projects. Additionally, reports suggest he's agreed to collaborate with Hanu Raghavapudi, known for his work on Sita Ramam, for a love story.

Rumors swirling around the Prabhas-Hanu Raghavapudi project indicate a staggering budget of 300Cr, backed by Mythri Movie Makers. The film's premise is set against the backdrop of World War 2, scheduled to commence production next year with the proposed budget subject to potential adjustments.

While a 300Cr budget might seem less risky considering Prabhas' widespread appeal, venturing into such significant financial territories, especially for a love story helmed by Hanu Raghavapudi, carries inherent risks. Unlike action films, where impactful sequences can sustain interest, the success of love stories pivots heavily on the chemistry between the lead pair, music, and emotional resonance.

The final outcome and viability of such an ambitious venture will rely heavily on how effectively the creative team navigates the challenges of delivering a compelling love story amidst the backdrop of a historical setting, especially with a substantial budget at stake.
