Prabhas News from the Archives - Part 8


In this post we will see news about Prabhas during the year 2007. Munna was getting ready for a release and news about Bujjigadu started coming in. It was interesting to see that the rumour of Prabhas doing a film with director Sukumar had come in 2007 itself. A couple of other interesting things to know was that the title first rumoured for Bujjigadu was 'Shadow' and that Kingfisher had done corporate branding for Munna.

Prabhas gave a commitment to Bhogavally Prasad during the time of Chatrapati that he would do another film for him. Sukumar took a token advance from Prasad long back.
