Dil Raju eyes Prabhas for grand mythological spectacle Jatayu

For the past few months, the film Jatayu has been making rounds across various platforms. Director Mohana Krishna Indraganti originally penned this story with a mythological touch and envisioned a big star for the lead role. He narrated the script to renowned producer Dil Raju and discussions between the two have been ongoing for the past few years.
Now, according to sources, Dil Raju is planning to bring Prabhas on board for this ambitious project. The producer announced two films—Rowdy Janardhana with Vijay Deverakonda and Yellamma with Nithiin. Both films are set to go on floors in April and May, respectively.
Meanwhile, Dil Raju is also keen on turning Jatayu into a high-budget extravaganza. Though Indraganti is the writer, the producer is looking to rope in another director to helm the project, considering its grand mythological theme and extensive visual effects requirements. The pre-production work is currently in progress, and once finalised, Dil Raju plans to pitch the story to Prabhas, sources reveal. If everything falls into place, Jatayu could be one of the biggest mythological films in Indian cinema.
