Guwahati: South Indian film industry star Prabhas announced his next project on social media on Tuesday morning. The Baahubali actor is set to feature in director Om Raut's next film- a 3D action drama titled Adipurush.

The film will be Prabhas and Raut's first film together, and it will be co-produced by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series and Raut, who is best-known for directing Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior.

The film's plot is said to "celebrate the victory of good over evil." It is expected to go on floors next year. Adipurush will be Prabhas and Bhushan Kumar's third film together after Saaho and Radhe Shyam.

Prabhas shared the logo poster of the film on his social media and wrote: "Celebrating the victory of good over evil! #Adipurush." The film is expected to release in 2022.

While talking about the upcoming film, Prabhas said, "Every role and every character comes with its own challenges but portraying a character like this comes with tremendous responsibility and pride. I am very excited to portray this character of our epic, especially the way Om Raut has designed it. I am sure the youth of our country will shower all their love on our film."

Prabhas and Om Raut released a video clip on Monday evening where they can be seen talking about their big announcement through a video conference. In the clip, Om Raut can be seen asking Prabhas if he is "ready for tomorrow," to which the actor replies, "All excited, finger crossed."

Adipurush will be shot in Hindi and Telugu. It will be dubbed in Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and several other languages. The film is currently in the pre-production stage, and details about the full cast of the film have not been revealed yet.
