SS Rajamaouli To Team Up With Mahesh Babu For A Jungle Adventure Film? Here's What We Know

Mahesh Babu is one of the most sought after Telugu stars. Reports have been doing the rounds that he might be seen sharing screen opposite Deepika Padukone and alongside Hrithik Roshan for Madhu Mantena's Ramayana. While that has not been confirmed yet, buzz also suggests that he might be teaming up with ace director SS Rajamouli for a project.

If a report in Pinkvilla is to be believed, then SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu might work together for a project, and no, it won't be a period drama. A source was quoted by the portal saying, “After directing back-to-back period drama’s, SS Rajamouli and his father, K.V. Vijayendra Prasad, are set to explore an altogether new world with the Mahesh Babu film. It’s a jungle-based adventure, essentially an African forest action-adventure, with visuals that have not been seen in Indian cinema. While the story will be set in a world of forests, it will be packed with a lot of action, thrills and drama. Even Mahesh is excited to foray into this high on VFX film.”

The script of the film is being written by K.V Vijayendra Prasad, who confirmed the news and might go on floors in 2022 at the earliest. Nothing has been finalised yet and it is still on the scripting stage. Speaking to the portal, he added, “It’s too early to talk about it right now, but yes, I am trying to explore the African Forest Adventure space (for Mahesh Babu film). It’s not yet finalized, but I am trying to crack this space at the moment. The timelines of shoot are not fixed as of now, but the film is happening next.”

This does sound super interesting, and the fact that something like this has not yet been explored in Indian cinema makes it all the more intriguing.
