Radhe Shyam is helmed by Radha Krishna Kumar. (Photo: YouTube)Radhe Shyam, starring Prabhas and Pooja Hegde in the lead roles, is all set to release on March 11. The film is said to be set in the backdrop of 1970’s Europe, and going by the trailer, Prabhas plays a renowned palm reader. However, while he is a master at predicting the future of other people, he might have misunderstood his own fate, which leads to a ‘war between love and destiny’.
Written and directed by Radha Krishna Kumar, the movie also stars Sachin Khedekar, Sathyaraj, Priyadarshi Pulikonda, Bhagyashree, Murli Sharma, Kunaal Roy Kapoor, Riddhi Kumar, Sasha Chettri and Sathyan.
Film trade analysts expect the Prabhas film to set cash registers ringing. Taran Adarsh told indianexpress.com, “Prabhas has been a big star who has given superhits Baahubali, Baahubali 2 and Saaho. Saaho, irrespective of the merits of the film, opened to fantastic numbers, as such is the craze of Prabhas. I am expecting a fantastic opening for Radhe Shyam.”
Manoj Manchu shared on Twitter, "Advance congratulations to the entire team of one of the grandest love saga of tollywood #RadheShyam. @director_radhaa brother, I'm sure you will rock. Can't wait to see darling #Prabhas on screen. Go watch it in your nearest theaters everyone #RadheShyamFromTomorrow."
Director Bobby tweeted, "The much anticipated magnum opus #RadheShyam releasing tomorrow & I can't wait to experience the Grand spectacle on Big screen. Wishing our darling #Prabhas garu, @hegdepooja,@director_radhaa, Dop @manojdft & the entire team for a Blockbuster."
Lakshmi Manchu posted on Twitter, "All the very best @PrabhasRaju @hegdepooja and each and everyone from the team for the Grand theatrical release of Radhe Shaym! Looking forward to watch it on the big screen."
Radha Krishna explained why he chose Radhe Shyam as his second film, "I worked as a writer and assistant director with director Chandrasekhar Yeleti, and we both worked on the story idea for a long time but failed to come up with a conclusion. It is a story that has increased my love for cinema. So, when I thought of doing my second film, I thought to work on this story once again. Luckily, I was able to come up with the conclusion for it within six months."

Before Baahubali, he didn’t have to drive futuristic cars in the narrow streets of Hyderabad, or his movies didn’t need to have exotic animals like ostrich, pythons, jaguars for us to feel thrilled to watch him on the big screen. We were quite in awe of his towering height and broad physique. He was a trend-setter when it came to fashion for a generation of boys who went to college in the 2000s. There seemed to be no pressure to do something out of the ordinary, or just trot around glossy buildings and expensive furniture. Saaho was all about making us feel amazed by the props used in the movie, and it did little to honour the relationship that the audience shared with Prabhas. Read full story here

He wrote, "Rewrite history like you always have darling!! All the best to Prabhas team UV, @poojahegde and @Radhekrishna for the realise tomorrow!
