Sooraj Pancholi is in talks for his third film, written by K V Vijayendra Prasad, who wrote two of last year’s biggest films — Baahubali and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. A source close to the actor reveals, “Sooraj has been reading a lot of scripts. In all likelihood, he will pick the one penned by Prasad. He loved the story and is kicked about the project.”

Reveals an insider, “Prasad is also penning a script for Salman and he suddenly had a thought in his mind. He quickly narrated the brief idea of the film to Sooraj. Both have agreed to working together and Prasad will be penning the script for him now.”

The khabru informs that although it’s a sports film, it isn’t a biopic. “It is a motivational and inspirational story, written with a lot of heart and true emotions like all of Prasad’s films. It is not based on someone in particular and is definitely not a biopic.” Sooraj’s second film with Remo goes on floors this August. The source confirms, “Ajay and Sooraj will start shooting for the film in August and as is evident now, Sooraj will have his second film hitting screens only in 2017.”

Tiger, too, followed the same route with Baaghi and A Flying Jatt releasing back-to-back exactly two years after Heropanti. Now, Sooraj might also have double releases next year.
