Marvel star Don Leeknown for his role as Gilgamesh in ‘Eternals’, has stirred excitement among Indian fans by hinting at a possible collaboration with superstar Prabhas.
Social media was abuzz with speculation that the Korean actor may just be teaming up with Prabhas for his next project after he shared Prabhas’ poster. In his Instagram stories, the actor, rumoured to be in talks to play the villain opposite Prabhas, shared the new ‘Salaar: Part 2‘ poster and added a thumbs-up emoticon.
Though no official announcement has been made, Lee’s recent social media activity has sparked speculation among fans. However, this unexpected development has also led fans to debate which film Lee might appear in. While many presumed that he would play the leading antagonist in ‘Salaar: Part 2’, the sequel to Prashanth Neel’s action-thriller, others suggested that he could just be the primary contender for ‘Spirit’, a new project directed by acclaimed filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
For ‘Spirit’, Prabhas will take on a powerful new role under the direction of Vanga who worked on films like ‘Animal’, ‘Arjun Reddy‘ and ‘Kabir Singh’. According to the latest reports, the director plans on wrapping up the film before he moves on to the highly anticipated sequel ‘Animal Park’, starring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead.
