Guess who will grace the pre-release event of Nani's upcoming movie - Gang Leader? It is none other than Prabhas, who reportedly is gratified over the fact that the makers of the movie decided to postpone its release to avoid a clash with Saaho. As Saaho does not stand to lose a lot by sharing revenue with Gang Leader, Prabhas's gesture was lauded by many. It is common for the filmmakers to look at the competition they will face at the Box Office, before announcing a release date. Earlier this week, news had come in that Nani's next release, a family drama called Gang Leader, would be postponed to avoid a clash with Prabhas's Sahoo.

Y Naveen, Y Ravi, and Mohan Cherukuri are producing Gang Leader under their banner of Mythri Movie Makers. So, as Prabhas is very happy with Nani and his team, he is all set to do a favour for them and the latest we hear is that he will be coming in as the chief guest for the pre-release event of Gang Leader. Mirosla Kuba Brojek is the cinematographer.
