Rajamouli is busy with mega multi-starrer RRR now. The Ram Charan and Jr NTR starrer is nearing completion and the entire shoot is expected to be wrapped up in two successive schedules. The Europe schedule will be commencing by the end of this month and the subsequent schedule will be carried out in Hyderabad. The ace filmmaker will be collaborating with superstar Mahesh Babu once he is done with RRR and he opened up about the same later last year. Meanwhile, Vijayendra Prasad who provides the stories for Rajamouli’s films is exploring several avenues for the latter’s upcoming project with Mahesh Babu.
In an interview with Bollywood media portal, Vijayendra Prasad confirmed that he is indeed willing to explore African forest based action adventure subject with Rajamouli-Mahesh Babu project. He added that he is yet to lock the script and his main focus is on finalizing a backdrop for the story. The senior writer went on to state that the possibility of Rajamouli green signalling African forest based adventure are quite high.
Up until now, none of Rajamouli’s films were set out in foreign locations. He prefers to pick native backdrop for all his films. But as it turns out, he is set to explore Afriacan forests backdrop for his next with Mahesh Babu. This is the first real time he is trying to base his store on a foreign locality. But nothing is for certain for now. Rajamouli might change his mind later and pick some other subject or plot line for Mahesh. Either way, he will focus on this project only after he wraps up RRR.
As for Mahesh Babu, he is presently busy with Sarkaru Vaari Paata. He will be collaborating with Trivikram for SSMB28. He will be working with Rajamouli after he is done with the Trivikram directorial. He is ready to allot bulk dates for Rajamouli’s film. K L Narayana will be bankrolling Rajamouli-Mahesh Babu film and he is ready to spend big on the much hyped project. Needless today, this project will be mounted on a massive scale and it will be Mahesh’s maiden pan-India film.
