The famed writer is busy developing the scripts of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Rowdy Rathore 2 and Rajamouli’s next with Mahesh Babu. But not many know that Prasad is set to foray into Hollywood with an Indo-American movie that will be announced in mid-2022.
It is heard that the offer came his way when RRR was being filmed.
