Renowned director S.S. Rajamouli, the mastermind behind epic hits like “Baahubali” and “RRR,” is gearing up to start his next ambitious project. The film, featuring superstar Mahesh Babu in the lead role, is set to go on floors by the end of August 2024.
Pre-Production in Full Swing
Currently, pre-production activities are in full throttle, with Rajamouli meticulously planning every detail. Mahesh Babu is also prepping intensively for his role to ensure he delivers a performance that matches the high expectations set by Rajamouli’s previous films.
Star-Studded Cast and Grand Announcements
Rajamouli has been in talks with several big stars across the country and has managed to rope in a few notable names. While the details are under wraps for now, Rajamouli has hinted at special announcements in the coming days. Fans can expect an ensemble cast that will elevate the film’s grandeur.
Release Date and Production Collaborations
As per the latest reports, the film is slated for release in August 2024. More details, including the official title and the plot, are expected to be unveiled soon by Rajamouli himself.
International Collaborations and Budget
In an exciting twist, there are strong rumors that Netflix might come on board as a partner for this mega-budget film. The estimated budget is around a staggering Rs 1,000 crore, promising a cinematic experience like no other.
Revisiting Past Rumors
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu have been linked for a project. Back in 2008, media reports suggested that Warner Bros. was interested in producing a film with Rajamouli directing and Mahesh Babu starring. At that time, Mahesh’s remuneration was rumored to be around Rs 10 crore—a significant amount then, though modest by today’s superstar standards. The project, which was supposed to be in collaboration with K. Raghavendra Rao’s son Prakash Kovelamudi, never materialized.
This Time, It’s Different
However, the current project appears to be moving smoothly, with all the pieces falling into place. The possibility of an international collaboration adds another layer of excitement, potentially elevating the film to a global scale.
The Cults Bay Concludes..
With Rajamouli at the helm and Mahesh Babu leading the cast, this upcoming film is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases. The director’s track record of delivering blockbuster hits, combined with the film’s rumored massive budget and potential international partnerships, has set the stage for an epic cinematic experience. Stay tuned for more updates as Rajamouli reveals further details in the days to come.
