Baahubali writer KV Vijayendra Prasad to work on Rowdy Rathore and Nayak sequels

KV Vijayendra Prasad is working on the sequels of Anil Kapoor’s Nayak: The Real Hero and Akshay Kumar-starrer Rowdy Rathore. Nayak starred Anil, Rani Mukerji, Amrish Puri, Paresh Rawal in the lead. The 2001 political thriller film was directed by Shankar. Rowdy Rathore, which released in 2012, featured Akshay and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead. The action film was directed by Prabhu Deva. “I am writing the sequels for Anil Kapoor’s Nayak and ‘Rowdy Rathore’. I am still working on the stories. It’s too early to share details about the story and the cast. These are the first sequels for me so I am looking forward to it,” Prasad reveals.
According to him, both the films will hopefully go on floors next year. The Baahubali fame writer says working on a sequel is a tough job. “To take ahead the story of hugely popular films is no easy task. It’s difficult to crack down on an idea that has a good plot line and is entertaining as well,” he says. Prasad has also written the script of Kangana Ranaut starrer Manikarnika -The Queen of Jhansi, but did not share any details about the project. Well, the writer has been quite busy and flooded with projects after Baahubali. 
Apart from the Bollywood films, the writer is also working on a TV show, Aarambh, promos of which look very promising. The show revolves around the inception of civilisation and the clash between the Aryans and Dravidians. Karthika Nair, Rajniesh Duggall and Tanuja Mukherji play the main leads in the show. Karthika and Rajniesh meet each other during the clash between their clans and fall in love with each other. Tanuja will play a sooth sayer who will guide Karthika throughout and the plot focuses on Karthika-Rajniesh’s love story during the difficult times.
