Legendary filmmaker Singeetam Srinivasa Rao will play the role of a mentor in the film. Touted to be a science-fiction drama, Prabhas 21 will be a pan-Indian multilingual project. This is actor Prabhas’ first association with director Nag Ashwin and the film will release in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. Prabhas 21 is slated to go on floors next year. Ashwin had earlier talked about the project that he was very excited to see Deepika play the character. “It is something no mainstream lead has done before and will be quite a surprise for everyone. The pairing of Deepika and Prabhas will be one of the main highlights of the film and the story between them, I believe will be something audiences will carry in their hearts for years to come,” he added. As per a report by The New Indian Express, the shooting of the film is expected to commence from November. It is expected to release in 2023.
