Salaar, which will be dubbed and released in Hindi, will be presented by Anil Thadani.

The project is expected to go on the floors after Prashanth wraps up KGF Chapter 2, which stars Yash.

Meanwhile, Prabhas is currently busy wrapping up upcoming Telugu period romantic drama Radhe Shyam (2021). The film, directed by Radha Krishna Kumar, sees the actor play a palm reader while Pooja Hegde essays the role of a music teacher.

Radhe Shyam, which will be dubbed and released in Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam, marks the maiden collaboration of Prabhas and Hegde.

The project went on the floors in January. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, the team successfully wrapped up the Georgian schedule in March and returned to India safely. “One more schedule done! I thank the Georgian team for helping us finish a kick-ass schedule! Lovely people you are (sic),” Radha Krishna had tweeted.

Prabhas hopes to wrap up this project by December and commence work on an upcoming multilingual science-fiction film with director Nag Ashwin early next year.
