After his superb performance in Sarileru Neekevvaru and owning 2020, Telugu actor Mahesh Babu’s next project has been confirmed with none other than Baahubali director S.S Rajamouli. Over the last couple of months, a lot of news has been surfacing about a possible collaboration between Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli, which has been confirmed now.

Putting the rumours to rest, in a recent interview Rajamouli confirmed the news and shared, “There are no rumors. The fact is that I will direct Mahesh Babu and it will be produced by KL Narayana. This will be my next after ‘RRR’.”

The untitled movie will officially be announced next year and hit the floors in 2022. Needless to say, it will certainly be a treat for everyone to see the biggest Telugu actor and the biggest Telugu director come together for this project.

Mahesh Babu has a fandom like no other not just in the south circuit but Pan India and the box office collections for all his movies are proof of the same. The actors last release Sarileru Neekevvaru was a super hit box office and collected over 200 crores during its theatrical run. The movie also marked the third consecutive movie for the actor to enter the 100 crore club.

Rajamouli has made a name for himself all over the country with his rendezvous “Bahubali” in two series making the entire country await his second one eagerly for over two years. The decade of 2010 in Indian film industry owes to him for the film “Bahubali, the Beginning” and the sequel “Bahubali, the Conclusion”, which went on to earn Rs.500 crore and Rs.1000 crore respectively.

His next film “RRR” starring Jr NTR and Ramcharan was scheduled to hit this year but for the Coronavirus pandemic, it may be delayed but surely make it soon to the theatres.

Bahubali director SS Rajamouli has revealed in a TV show that he would be making a film with the most-sought-after Telugu actor Mahesh Babu but has given enough indication that it won’t be his next film but later.

Rajamouli has made films with almost all the top Telugu heroes from Jr NTR, Prabhas, Nani and Sunil but remained choosy about his heroes till now. As there were several requests from Mahesh Babu’s managers, the combination would be the most acclaimed one and the movie has to be par excellent by any measure.

In his live interaction on TV with host Rana Daggubati in the “No.1 Yaari” TV show on Sunday the ace director said he would do a movie soon with Mahesh Babu, releasing enough bytes for the TV media for the next two years.

Otherwise, Rajamouli has his hands full on his next film with producer DVV Danayya, which he has repeatedly said will be without any VFX techniques and instead employ more human emotions, a film that may NOT go well with Mahesh Babu in view of his recent debacle over the failure of “Brahmotsavam”.

For all probabilities, it could be Jr NTR, with whom Rajamouli worked in two big hits in the past and it was said that Rajamouli was behind the sugggestion made to Jr NTR to become slim. He had also ruled out Pawan Kalyan who is already busy with his films and possible political career next.

That leaves a film for Mahesh Babu with in producer KL Narayana’s next film employing VFX, strong story line and even a huge budget making it possibly the “Bahubali 3” with ‘Prince’ Mahesh Babu in the lead role and the only question remains unanswered is the storyline.

If the plan for ‘Bahubali 3’ gets through, it would be another Prince who would take the centre-stage and Rajamouli will be keen to rope in the Prince for maximum effect of his next magnum opus.
