Kannada director Prem to rope in Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan in his next?

Rumours about Kannada filmmaker Prem's plans of a big budget film with six heroes were abuzz much before the film Villain starring Shivrajkumar and Sudeep hit the headlines. The latest video of Prem, several months after the release of Villain, has gone viral.

Prem went live on Zee Kannada's Facebook page where he revealed more details about his upcoming project.  When one asked about when this move would hit the floors, Prem said that this was his dream project and that the film would be made no matter what. He advised all to dream big and work towards realising those dreams.

Speculation is that some of the biggest stars from the south film industry would be part of Prem's film. Unconfirmed reports suggest that Tamil superstars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan have been approached for this film. Drawing inspiration from the epic Mahabharat, Prem is believed to have begun scripting the film with two main characters forming the plot.

Prem's dream project is rumoured to be titled Kali. This film was to be shot before Villain, but with clashes in schedules with respect to the stars, Prem went ahead with Shivrajkumar-Sudeep starrer Villain.

Kali is expected to start rolling in 2020 and the task of roping in the actress/actresses may prove to be a challenge, say sources, who also claim that Prem may launch his wife’s brother.
