Prabhas may be giving the option of working with an unlikely director a thought, the buzz in the Tinseltown says. Who is that director?

Puri Jagannadh. Prabhas and his friends at UV Creations are said to be caught in a Catch-22 situation after the financial costs entailed by the failure of 'Saaho'. The situation is not favourable and therefore, the star hero may not be in a position to do a big-budgeted film now. 'Jaan', his film with Radhakrishna, has a long way to go. Just 30 per cent of the production works have been completed.

So, Prabhas might team up with Puri, who has a knack for making mass movies full of punchlines. Such a crazy project may well be completed fast (saving production costs) and sold for lucrative rates in Hindi. That way, the actor wants to mint money in the coming months in two shakes of a lamb's tail. Puri is back in form with 'iSmart Shankar'.

How true is the buzz? Let's wait and watch.
