Prashanth Neel Picks Prabhas, Skips NTR
It is anticipated that ntr will complete filming for war 2 by august or september of this year, at which point he will be out of work. Rumour has it that ntr plans to start shooting Prashanth Neel's movie in October, however this would depend on Prashanth's schedule. Based on the reception to the first half of Devara, which is scheduled for publication in October, ntr may decide to begin Devara 2 if Prashanth is not available by then.
According to rumours, prashanth neel has been busy filming the scouting for NTR's movie for the past three months. He was presumably preoccupied with the script for Salaar 2, though. Perhaps in an effort to fully exit the Salaar universe before taking on a wholly new subject with ntr, prashanth neel prioritised Salaar 2 over NTR's project. Furthermore, Salaar didn't take off as kgf did, so there's a chance that its frenzy would fizzle out quickly. Therefore, it would be wiser to develop a sequel to Salaar rather than starting a new project.
