Director Nag Ashwin is going to make a science-fiction with Prabhas, and the huge multi-lingual project is produced by Vyjayanthi Movies. Months ahead of its shoot, an interesting piece of gossip is out.

It has been said that the story of the film will be futuristic in nature. But how futuristic is the flick? The buzz is that the story is set in the 2050s.

The story was written before anybody knew about the pandemic. With the theory of bio-war and man-made viruses being discussed in the global media, the 'Mahanati' director is said to be infusing the element to make the film look updated. Also, at a time when pessimism is ruling high, the story will deal with Prabhas' omnipotent and trans-national heroism, the buzz goes.

Before the release of his home production 'Jathi Ratnalu', Nag Ashwin was looking at starting the shoot in June or July. The second wave has meant that the shoot is deferred further beyond.

A lot of pre-production work is still on. The film, which features Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan in full-fledged roles, will start its shoot post-Dasara.

To be released probably in 2023, the untitled flick will arrive after Om Raut's 'Adipurush'.
