Prabhas and Deepika Padukone to share screen space?!

Bollywood reports say that Bahubali star Prabhas and Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone may share screen space for an upcoming Bollywood movie of Prabhas. Prabhas hasn’t had a release since Baahubali, but actor Prabhas’ cult status only grows. 

While his next film Saaho is still in the making, there is buzz that the actor might star opposite the current diva Deepika Padukone in his next film, which will be a Bollywood film. According to reports, the Baahubali star had approved this project three years ago. The makers have approached Deepika, but she is still to give her nod, the report adds. 

If things do not work out with her, the makers are also reportedly considering Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif for the role. Meanwhile, Deepika has Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s  Padmaavat as her upcoming release, which has been landed in some controversies. The movie is scheduled to be released on January 25. 
Prabhas hasn’t really taken up too many films, post the phenomenal success of Baahubali. In fact, after the SS Rajamouli film released, the shy actor went off for an extended holiday to the US. On his return, he plunged headlong into the shooting of Saaho. Interesting, there was much talk about who would star opposite him in the film with many expecting Anushka Shetty to join Saaho. However, it was later reported that she finally withdrew as she was committed to a big budget Tamil film. 

Soon, it came to light that the makers of Saaho were trying for an A-lister from Bollywood and finally zeroed in on Shraddha Kapoor, who signed on the dotted line reportedly at a huge sum of Rs 5 crore. Saaho, an action thriller, will see many familiar faces from Bollywood — Jackie Shroff, Chunky Panday and Mandira Bedi. Apparently, the makers of Saaho are keen that like Baahubali, Saaho should appeal to a pan-Indian audience.
