Prithviraj to play villain in the Mahesh Babu-starrer?

The news is highly anticipated by the actor's fans, despite the fact that the producers have not confirmed it. This is in line with his recent selection of scripts. Prior roles as an antagonist were held by Prithviraj Sukumaran in Raavanan and Naam Shabana. For his fans, the news of his villainous role in the recently released Hindi film, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which is streaming on Netflix, was just as intriguing.

Mahesh Babu and S S Rajamouli’s pan-India project

Everyone has been wondering when Mahesh Babu would undertake a pan-India project for a very long time. It is well known that the Telugu superstar will be directed by Rajamouli in an international adventure drama that will also star a number of well-known Hollywood actors. K L Narayana provided the film's funding. There are reports that the film's pre-production is underway. It does not yet have a title.

Mahesh Babu has begun filming in the meantime, and he has enlisted the help of several renowned personal trainers to help him achieve the muscular look needed for Rajamouli's movie. The actor has also been asked by Rajamouli to grow out his hair and develop a unique body for this movie. We now know that the script was finished last year, and the reading sessions for it started in December 2023.

Rajamouli collaborates closely with his team on his projects, and the director's family is also involved. The film's script is being written by Vijayendra Prasad, the director's father. Rajamouli is renowned for casting his important supporting cast members only after the complete story is complete.
