With Anushka opted out of the 'Rebel' project directed by Raghava Larencce and produced by J Bhagawan and J Pulla Rao on the banner of Sri Balaji Cine Media with Prabhas as hero, the director immediately contacted Tamanna and made her to sign the dotted line for the movie.

The third schedule of Rebel is slated to begin in Hyderabad from September 15.

Giving details about the progress of the film, producers say, 'We are planning our third schedule from September 15 in Hyderabad. The schedule would continue without any break and the unit would complete the shooting in Hyderabad and leave for Bangkok and would wrap up the shooting with Vizag schedule. Prabhas and Tamanna are pairing up for the first time, while Deeksha Seth is playing another heroine. We are very happy for doing a hit film with a hero like Prabhas. We will never forget the cooperation extended by Prabhas in the film production. Moreover, Larencce too is not compromising on any occasion and is committed to bring out a super hit film. We are thrilled for bringing out such a high budget film and it would be the career’s highest budget film for Prabhas too.'

Prabhas says, 'My look would be different in this film after 'Mr Perfect'. The film would be quite stylish to suit the title 'Rebel'. Larencce is bringing out the film in an extraordinary manner. The film has all kinds of elements the audiences would expect from my film.'

Director says, 'The story of the film would suit at its best to Prabhas' personality and image. Such kind of film should be done by Prabhas and none others. The producers are cooperating in every matter and we are sure that the film would be a definite hit.'
