Superstar Mahesh Babu and renowned director SS Rajamouli are all set to create history in the Indian film industry with their highly anticipated collaboration for a new movie. This Tollywood film has already gained immense attention due to its astounding budget of Rs 1000 crore, making it one of the most expensive movies ever made in India. The estimated budget of the film has surpassed even the budget of the blockbuster Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which was made with a budget of Rs 250 crore.
The project, tentatively named SSMB 29, is reported to be an African Jungle adventure film. The filmmakers are aiming for international collaborations with studios to ensure that the film reaches the remotest corners of the world. Despite its global visual appeal, the movie will also maintain an Indian style and incorporate cutting-edge technologies from around the world.
Furthermore, it has been revealed that Mahesh Babu will be portraying a character inspired by the Hindu mythology figure, Lord Hanuman. This follows the storytelling tradition of SS Rajamouli, who is known for creating larger-than-life and iconic characters. While there have been speculations that the film will be a two-part franchise spanning four years, an official confirmation is yet to be made.
The magnitude of this project can be understood by comparing it to previous big-budget films in the Telugu film industry. Even RRR, featuring Ram Charan and Jr NTR, had a budget of around Rs 550 crore. With a budget four times higher than that, Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli’s collaboration is set to establish new benchmarks.
Fans of Mahesh Babu are eagerly awaiting the release of this mega-budget film. In the meantime, they can look forward to his upcoming movie ‘Guntur Kaaram’, directed by Trivikram Srinivas, which is scheduled to hit theaters on January 12, 2024. The film stars Sreeleela and Meenakshi Chaudhary in lead roles.
With their combined star power, the talent of the cast and crew, and the massive budget, Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli’s movie is sure to be a visual spectacle that will redefine the standards of Indian cinema.
