In September, there was news about Kabir Singh director Sandeep Reddy Vanga collaborating with Ranbir Kapoor. It was said that the Telugu filmmaker was in talks with Kapoor for his dark crime thriller, tentatively titled Devil. Now, the latest buzz is that Prabhas has been roped in instead of Kapoor.

Though there is no official word, industry sources say that Ranbir Kapoor has opted out of the project and is tied up with Brahmastra and Luv Ranjan's next. Since Ranbir prefers to work on one project at a time, this could possibly the reason for him to drop out of the film.
