Tollywood fans have eagerly waited for an update on the much-talked-about collaboration between Rebel Star Prabhas and HanuMan director Prasanth Varma. At the recently concluded SIIMA Awards 2025 in Dubai, the young filmmaker finally broke his silence and gave fans a much-needed update on this dream project.
Prasanth Varma’s Update On Prabhas Film
Speaking to the media at the SIIMA red carpet, Prasanth Varma called this project his “most rebellious film” yet. He confirmed that the team stands fully ready to begin shooting and said, “Be prepared, whenever the actor gives the dates, we are ready to shoot.” He did not mention Prabhas’ name, but his words clearly pointed to the Pan-India star.
This statement ends months of speculation that the film might have been shelved. Earlier reports claimed that Prabhas already completed a look test in Hyderabad. Actress Bhagyashri Borse is likely to play the female lead, though the makers have not issued an official confirmation yet.
What We Know About The Project
The makers have tentatively titled the film Raka, and reports claim it tells a mythological fantasy based on the Bakasura legend. The project forms a part of the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU), which began with HanuMan. Hombale Films, the reputed production house that signed a three-film deal with Prabhas, will bankroll this ambitious film.
Fans feel thrilled about this collaboration because it marks the first time Prabhas and Prasanth Varma will work together. Prasanth Varma’s unique storytelling in HanuMan impressed audiences worldwide and delivered massive box-office success.
Prabhas’ Busy Schedule
Prabhas currently shoots for The Raja Saab and Fauji, keeping his schedule packed. Once he completes these two films, he will dedicate his time to his silver jubilee film Spirit with Sandeep Reddy Vanga. After finishing Spirit, he will move on to Salaar 2 and Kalki 2.
Fans now closely watch for the moment when Prabhas can give dates for Prasanth Varma’s film. With the director ready to roll cameras at any time, the industry waits for an official announcement soon.
