Gunasekhar is presently working on Shakuntalam, a mythological entertainer. He will also be taking up mythological entertainer Hiranyakasipa starring Rana. It is coming out that Suresh Babu who was producing Hiranyakasipa has opted out and therefore Gunasekhar is searching for someone else.
The story of Prataparudrudu has already been completed by Gunasekhar at the time of his film Rudramadevi. And there are speculations of who will be starring in the main role. It is coming out that Superstar Mahesh Babu might be roped in for Prataparudrudu.
Earlier Gunasekhar and Mahesh Babu duo have given films like Sainikudu, Okkadu, and Arjun. While Okkadu was a hit, the other two films saw failure at the box office. Mahesh Babu is presently working with Sarkaru Vaari Paata and also will be seen teaming up with Trivikram Srinivas and Rajamouli. Gunasekhar is trying to get dates from Mahesh Babu, so it is to be seen if the duo will make it again for this project
