A few weeks ago, the grapevine had it that Prabhas struck gold by getting an AR Murugadoss film. It was even said that the 'Saaho' star liked the story and gave his nod.

Turns out that nothing is farther from the truth. While the director has spoken to Prabhas, it was only an informal chat that they had. "I narrated to him no story. The reports came out of nowhere," the director suggests.

It's a far cry for Prabhas to accept any movie as of now. Nobody is quite sure how long 'Saaho' will take it to be over. Then, he will do a period romantic drama in the direction of Radha Krishna.

ARM has a tendency to develop relationships with superstars. Mahesh Babu had been in his reckoning for 10 years before 'SPYder' fructified. One hopes that a Prabhas-ARM film doesn't take those many years.
