Hyderabad, India – Renowned filmmaker SS Rajamouli, celebrated for his grand visual spectacles, is currently working on a highly anticipated new project with Bollywood superstar Mahesh Babu. The film, known for its extensive use of visual effects, is expected to continue Rajamouli’s tradition of prioritizing visual storytelling.
However, the production of the film has faced delays, with shooting now scheduled to begin in April 2024. The primary reason for this delay is the intensive VFX work involved. Rajamouli is collaborating with various studios across the globe to ensure the highest quality of visual effects. In a departure from the usual process of adding VFX after filming, Rajamouli’s team is completing the VFX work first before proceeding with the principal photography. Reports indicate that 40% of the VFX work has already been finalized, potentially leading to an earlier release date than initially anticipated.
The project has also garnered interest from Hollywood studios. Rumors suggest that companies like Disney may collaborate with Rajamouli, offering production partnerships. However, such collaborations come with stringent demands. Hollywood partners often require the completed film at least four months before its release date, adding to the pressure on Rajamouli and his team.
As fans eagerly await the release of this highly anticipated film, it is evident that Rajamouli’s meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to delivering world-class visual effects will play a crucial role in shaping Mahesh Babu’s next blockbuster.
