Hyderabad: After playing Lord Ram in Adipurush, Prabhas is set to take on another epic mythological role, this time portraying Lord Shiva in the upcoming period drama film titled Kannappa. The exciting news was officially confirmed by producer Vishnu Manchu, creating a buzz of anticipation among Prabhas' devoted fan base.
While specific details about Prabhas' character in the film were not revealed, Vishnu Manchu's cryptic comment, "Har Har Mahadev," strongly suggests that the actor will be essaying the role of Lord Shiva. The film Kannappa is poised to commence production shortly, and a recent puja ceremony marked the beginning of this ambitious project.
