Deepika Confirmed To Romance Prabhas In Telugu-Hindi Movie From Nag Ashwin

Fans of the duo probably burst into tears for their co-operation in the upcoming movie by Nag Ashwin, which will be released in Telugu, Hindi and Tamil. Both Deepika Padukone and Prabhas announced their co-starrer on their official social accounts, expressing pride and happiness when having the chance to work with each other.

On his Instagram, Prabhas wrote that:

“We are very excited to have Deepika Padukone onboard, welcome.”

This is the very first time Deepika joined a Telugu project though she used to work in some regional movies before. This makes Deepika the highest-paid actress in Telugu cinema, once she’s done filming for this Nag Ashwin project.

Even Prabhas might not receive such a high salary as Deepika in this forthcoming movie. At the moment, Deepika Padukone’s earning per film is reportedly at around Rs. 27 crore on average while Prabhas got from Rs. 18 crore to Rs. 20 crore per movie he’s in. Having said that, a source used to claim Prabhas was paid up to Rs. 100 crore for the hit Saaho in 2019.

From the side of the Bollywood actress, Deepika shared that:

“Beyond thriller! Cannot wait for what we believe is going to be an incredible journey ahead…”

Deepika didn’t reveal her role or relationship with Prabhas in this highly anticipated movie but we guess that would be the long-awaited romance that fans of both Bollywood and Tollywood are all looking forward to.

The reason Nag Ashwin is willing to spend a whopping amount on Deepika is understandable. To make the best co-operation between the two Indian cinemas, he wants a nationwide name that can attract the audience from all Indian corners. And Deepika Padukone is an ideal option.

In a sharing recently, the director also confirmed that the film, supposedly the biopic of Mahanati, is his golden chance to cement the position of Vyjayanthi Movies in Indian cinema. He expected this movie would be able to enthrall all the Indian audiences like never before, with the highlights of Deepika and Prabhas whom he called ‘extraordinary cinematic talents.’

Not sure whether Nag Ashwin has approached other A-listed Bollywood actresses before Deepika or not but we bet that she and Prabhas make a perfect couple for the movie.

The nearest upcoming movie of Deepika Padukone is ‘83’ in which she will co-star with her beloved husband Ranveer Singh. The movie release date hasn’t been informed yet.
