Writer Vijayendra Prasad should be called the unsung hero of the Baahubali franchise for scripting such an engaging story. The prolific writer is also credited with writing an emotional script for Salman Khan’s blockbuster hit Bajrangi Bhaijaan. He is currently working for yet another interesting period drama titled ‘Manikarnika’ which retells the glory of Jhansi Lakshmi Bhai.
Speaking to national media, Vijayendra Prasad revealed that he is simultaneously working on the scripts for the sequels of Bollywood hits – ‘Nayak : The Real Hero’ and ‘Rowdy Rathore’. The ace writer said that both these films will go on floors in the first half of next year. The Baahubali writer says that working on the scripts for sequels is not a cake walk.
He refused to reveal the cast and crew details of both these sequels.
While Nayak : The Hero is a 2001 political thriller directed by Shankar, Rowdy Rathore starring Akshay Kumar was a remake of SS Rajamouli’s hit film Vikramarkudu.
