Prabhas with Lokesh Kanagaraj: Not included in LCU

Pan-India star Prabhas is currently gearing up for an array of exciting film projects. Among the upcoming releases is "Spirit," directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, a film helmed by director Hanu Raghavapudi and a project under the direction of Lokesh Kanagaraj. However, it remains uncertain which of these endeavors will commence first.

Lokesh Kanagaraj, in particular, has provided insights into his collaboration with Prabhas. The director has affirmed his commitment to crafting a distinctive narrative that complements Prabhas's pan-Indian appeal. He has also clarified that he won't be incorporating elements from his Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) into Prabhas's film.

The other day, the director also clarified that his next film with Rajinikanth is also not a part of LCU. It looks like Lokesh will take a break from his LCU before progressing with other films.

However, Lokesh did not disclose a specific timeline for the commencement of his project with Prabhas, as he has prior commitments.

On the other hand, Prabhas is presently in the final stages of shooting for "Kalki 2898 AD," and an untitled film directed by Maruthi. Both movies will hit the screens next year. Salaar will gear up for a grand release in December this year.
