The production step
Ashwin said regular shooting is scheduled to begin in mid-October after the production secured Prabhas' call sheet alongside the other principal performers. Some individual scenes with Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan had already been filmed earlier in 2026.
Why the schedule moved
The director's account frames cast availability as the practical gate for moving from isolated material to the regular shoot. It is a production-status update, not a trailer launch or confirmation that photography is complete.
The 2028 caveat
Ashwin says the team aims to release the sequel in 2028. Until a distributor announces a dated release, that year is a planning target and could still move as filming and post-production progress.
Update note: Original source-read production update separating confirmed scheduling from an aspirational release window.
