Ace director SS Rajamouli has collaborated with Tollywood heartthrob Mahesh Babu, for the first time, for their much-awaited project tentatively titled ‘SSMB29’. Despite entertaining fans in the film industry for the last few decades, this is the first time the dynamic duo is working together.
This collaboration marks the maiden collaboration of Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu, despite both being massive forces in the South Indian film industry for over two decades. What makes this choice even more intriguing is the fact that Rajamouli has a history of blockbuster success with Prabhas and Ram Charan.
Why Mahesh Babu instead of Prabhas?
Rajamouli and Prabhas’ partnership in the Baahubali saga reshaped the landscape of Indian cinema, earning them unprecedented fame and box office success. The duo’s cinematic chemistry was undeniable, and many expected them to continue their collaboration. However, after the phenomenal success of 'Baahubali' and 'RRR', Rajamouli decided to cast Mahesh Babu. The filmmaker has always been one to embrace fresh challenges, and casting Mahesh offers a new dynamic that fans are eager to see.
