Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli have collaborated for a magnum opus which is tentatively titled 'SSMB 29'. As per the latest reports, the film will be made on a༒ whopping budget of Rs 1000 crore. Yes, you read it right!
It is said to be surpassing the budget of Prabhas' Baahubali 2: The Conclusion' and Ram Charan and Jr NTR's 'RRR'. The former was made on a budget of Rs 250 cro🦄re while the latter had a budget of around Rs 550 crore.
Howeve🍒r, a source dismissed the rumours of its budget and told Deccan Chronicle, "These reports are baseless and unfounded since they haven’t finalized the final budget yet. Also, the production house is capable and prepared for big investments as per the demands of the script''.
Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu's film is touted to be an action-adventure drama. Earlier, Pink🔜villa reported that 'SSMB 29' is set to be an African Jungle adventure film, and makers are planning to collaborate with international studios so that it reaches other parts of the world. The same report also stated that the film will be made in Indian style and will ⛄have a joint collaborative work of the best technologies around the globe.
The source informed, "These are another bunch of untrue rumours. Neither they are joining hands with a Hollywood producer nor casting🎃 has been finalized. Except for Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli, nothing hꦇas been fixed yet. Of course, work is going on to pick the right cast and crew and it will happen in due course of time''.
Also, there were reports that the 'Maharshi' actor will be playing the role inspired by Lord Hanuman from Hindu mythology, It is also r🥂eported that 'SSMB 29' is being made in two parts which will span over four years. But nothing has been confirmed yet.
The shooting is said to begin in April or May but ''it all depends on various factors and everything has to fall in place. And there is no hurry since it's a once-in-lifetim🦄e film f꧙or the production house,'' the source added.
Me♍anwhile, Mahesh Babu is currently gearing up for ‘Guntur Kaaram’ directed by Trivikram Srinivas. It will release on January 12, 2024.
