Mahesh Babu is gearing up for his next film, which will be directed by Rajamouli. The big pan world project is currently in the pre-production stage, with a main workshop set to start soon. Rajamouli is planning to begin the shoot with a well prepared strategy.
Mahesh Babu is undergoing significant transformation for his role in the SSMB29. Namrata Shirodkar recently posted a picture of Mahesh with long hair and a full grown beard, which has quickly gone viral. This new look is part of his preparation for the big film, which is set in the wild African forests.
There are also rumours that Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran has been cast as the powerful villain. The film is being produced by KL Narayana under the Durga Arts banner, with shooting expected to commence by the end of 2024.
