Prabhas is said to be keen to defer the launch of his sci-fi thriller, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone, looking at how things are unfolding in the second wave of the pandemic. Nag Ashwin’s directorial venture is slated to roll in July. The Baahubali sensation wants it to be pushed to October as the shoot of his other project, Om Raut’s Adipurush, ground to a halt due to the spike in cases. He wants to complete work on it first. Ashwin’s big-budget movie’s pre-production has been going on for over a year ever since it was announced that Prabhas will feature in the pan-India film. 

The yet-untitled film is slated to release in 2022. "I feel lucky and blessed that Bachchan Sir has selected our film among the many choices he has. It is a full-length role, which we believe will do justice to the legend that he is," the film`s director Nag Ashwin said in a media interaction earlier.
