But after Saaho is completed.
Subhash K Jha reports.
Prabhudheva will direct Prabhas as soon as Saaho is done.
"Prabhas is a dear friend," Prabhudeva says. "I have known him from the time time he entered Tamil-Telugu cinema."
"He did a cameo in my film, Action Jackson," says Prabhudeva. "I would love to direct him, but not just because Baahubali happened."
Prabhu wanted to wait until Prabhas was free.
"I have been thinking of doing a film with Prabhas for a while now," Prabhudeva adds.
"Right now he's busy with Saaho. We will do our film after that."
He is all praise for Saaho director Sujeeth.
"His first film Run Raja was so much fun," says Prabhudeva, adding, "There are lots of really good young directors emerging from the South."
