Prabhas in Puri Jagannath's next

As soon as the shooting for Telugu 'Billa' is finished, Prabhas will join the sets of veteran director Puri Jagannath's next. Puri's last outing, Ravi Teja starrer 'Neninthe', was a dud and the beleaguered director is going in for fast recovery throgh a Prabhas film, say Tollywood insiders.

The director was planning a film to launch his brother, Sairam Shankar, in Tollywood. But, the 'Neninthe' disaster has made him put his plans on hold and opt for a sure-fire quickie with a commercially viable star.

Prabhas has worked with the director in the superhit, 'Bujjigadi Made in Chennai'.
