Prakash Raj to produce Radha Mohan's next project

Finally Prakash Raj has come to the rescue of his friend and director Radha Mohan. Yes.. he will produce his next directorial venture titled Payanangal. According to the sources, the film is a Tamil and Telugu bilingual thriller, loosely based on the book Buy Flight into Fear written by Devi Saran, who was the captain of the ill fated Indian Airlines flight IC 814 involved in the 1999 Kandhar hijack.

Nagarjuna will play the role of the pilot while Prakash Raj is going to do the role of Union Home Secreatary. The script has been changed to suit local nativity with the flight taking off from Chennai instead of Kathmandu, and some local flavour added.

Nagarjuna 's 'Payanam'

Radha Mohan has just started his journey in the film industry but has already become popular in the circuit. His last movie 'Aakasamantha' was not only appreciated by critics, it also became a commercial success.

Now the director who is known for humor based narration of serious storylines is all set with his next venture. The movie titled 'Payanam' will star Nagarjuna in the lead.

The music will be composed by Devi Sri Prasad. This movie is supposed to be a bi-lingual. Many expect this movie to be similar to his other movies.

This would also be a comeback of sorts for Nag into Kollywood after a long gap.

Srinu Vaitla to direct Prabhas

After Dhee, Dubai Seenu and Ready, Srinu Vaitla is one of the most sought-after directors in Tollywood. Right now, he is busy with Nagarjuna's King. Then after wrapping up King's shooting, he will start on an untitled rib-tickling comedy that stars Venkatesh.

Later, he is all set to do a flick with Prabhas, to be produced by Aditya Ram. Prabhas is currently busy shooting for Billa. The project with Prabhas will begin after the completion of both these movies, say Film Nagar sources.

All these projects will be kicked off only in 2009. King will be launched as a Christmas/ New Year holiday treat for Nag's fans.
