Remember Prabhakar, who played the menacing leader of the savage group Kalakeya in the first part of Baahubali? He plays the lead antagonist in actor-filmmaker Prabhudheva’s upcoming Tamil film Yung Mung Sung.

“Prabhakar plays the villain. I can’t spoil the fun by talking about his character now but I can assure you he doesn’t play the typical antagonist,” the film’s director M.S Arjun told IANS.

Also starring Lakshmi Menon, RJ Balaji and Ashwin, the film is inching closer to completion.

The film also has an ensemble cast of actors, which includes Chitra Lakshman, Munishkanth, ‘Kaali’ Venkat, and Marimuthu.
