Last year, director SS Rajamouli had confirmed in an interview that after his magnum opus RRR, he will be next directing Mahesh Babu. But, no details about the project has been revealed yet. However, the latest report states that Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli will now explore a new genre as their next is said to be a jungle-based adventure film.
Reportedly SS Rajamouli and his father, K.V. Vijayendra Prasad, are set to explore an altogether new world which will feature Mahesh Babu in the lead. The script is said to be written by Prasad. This movie will be packed with a lot of action, thrills, drama and will be high on VFX.
Confirming the news, K.V. Vijayendra Prasad told Pinkvilla that it is too early to talk about it but he is trying to explore the African Forest Adventure space (for Mahesh Babu film). He told the portal, “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.”

According to the same report, a source close to the development revealed, “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 source further revealed that it is an unexplored subject in Indian Cinema. “Which is the reason why the trio is planning to bring it to the spectacle for the Pan-Indian audience in multiple languages. The subject has tremendous potential at the box-office. The first step is to lock the script and then move onto virtually creating the world of jungles,” the source added.
