SS Rajamouli's Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic Put On Back Burner Due To Prabhas, Jr NTR - Report

Overview

  • Mid-day reports the SS Rajamouli-linked Phalke film, to be directed by Nitin Kakkar, is on hold for the foreseeable future.
  • Jr NTR was initially eyed but is unavailable as he films an action drama with Prashanth Neel.
  • Prabhas was later rumored to headline, yet he is tied up through early 2026 with Spirit and Kalki 2898 AD Part 2, according to the report.
  • Kakkar has shifted focus to Awarapan 2, now shooting in Thailand with Emraan Hashmi.
  • A separate Phalke biopic from Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani is described by Mid-day as underway, with trade chatter suggesting its presence complicates the Rajamouli-backed project’s path.
