Chennai:Having spent nearly four years on S.S. Rajamouli's "Baahubali" franchise, actor Prabhas will finally commence work on his next yet-untitled Telugu outing on Monday.

The film will be directed by Sujeeth.

"For all the darlings and well wishers out there. Pooja tomorrow. Thanks for all the wishes in advance. Prabhas 19 shuru karenge," Sujeeth tweeted on Sunday.

Sujeeth made his directorial debut with 2014 Telugu romantic-comedy "Run Raja Run" in Prabhas's production.

According to a source from the film's unit, Prabhas will play a police officer in the film.

"He plays a duty-fearing cop. He will lose muscle and look leaner for his role in the film. He has already started working out to look his part," the source said.

While Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy trio has been roped in to compose tunes, Madhie will crank the camera.IANS
