Actor Prabhakar, popular for playing the villain Kalakeya in S.S. Rajamouli's "Baahubali", will be making his Malayalam debut in a yet-untitled project, says a source.

"Prabhakar has been signed on to play the villain in this new project which features Mohanlal and Prithviraj in the title role. The film will be directed by B. Unnikrishnan, and it's slated to go on the floors later this year," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

While the cast and crew are yet to be finalised, this will be the fourth time Unnikrishnan and Mohanlal are pairing up.

Kalakeya, the war lord, was Prabhakar's much acclaimed role. He has also starred in many Telugu films including MaryadaRamanna that won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in the year 2010.
