A long time ago, soon after the release of 'Kaaka Kaaka', his blockbuster hit in Tamil with Surya, the director agreed to make a film with Prabhas in the lead role. Since then, Goutham became busy with a series of projects including the blockbuster hit 'Vettaiyadu Vilayaadu' with Kamalhasan and Jyothika in the lead.
He is now directing Surya again and intends to make a film Trisha in the lead. As soon as he completes this one too, he might begin directing the Prabhas film.
The director has given Prabhas the outline of the film. If the actor is okay with it, they'll begin looking for a producer.
