Superstar Mahesh Babu recently left for a summer family holiday to Switzerland with his son Gautam Krishna in tow. The duo joined Namrata and Sitara, who are already there.
The actor, who puts family first, is known for frequent long foreign vacations. He took a small gap from the filming of SSMB 28, under the direction of Trivikram Srinivas, to escape for a summer holiday in the Alps.
However, while the filming of SSMB 28 is happening briskly, visionary director SS Rajamouli, who is still reeling under the massive success of RRR’s prestigious Oscar win, has immersed himself in making his next, SSMB 29 with Mahesh Babu, an even bigger one.
According to the updates, we hear that Rajamouli, along with his father-writer Vijayendra Prasad, is finalizing the story and script. Apart from that, Rajamouli has also begun the pre-production works for the globe-trotting adventure drama with Mahesh Babu, which will be on the lines of Indiana Jones.
For making SSMB 29 a special film, Rajamouli, who caught the attention of the film fraternity around the world with Baahubali and RRR, is reportedly considering roping in veteran superstars and phenomenal actors from other neighboring industries. Going by a report featured in Fanatic Buff, Rajamouli is in talks with none other than Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan, Chiyaan Vikram, and Malayalam star actor-producer-director Prithviraj Sukumaran for a key role in SSMB 29.
Although there is no official confirmation of the same, we hope this news comes true. It is quite rare and a celebration to see versatile personalities of the south-Indian cinema coming together for another wonder that SSMB 29 is surely going to be, under the able direction of SS Rajamouli.
Meanwhile, SSMB 29 will also be developed into a franchise and will have more than one sequel. The movie will be bankrolled by KL Narayana on a massive budget of Rs 500 Crore. Given Rajamouli’s vision and working style, the budget may even strech a bit further. The movie will go on floors from the beginning of 2024
