Rana Daggubati Drops Truth Bomb on Box Office Collections and Promises a Revamped 'Rana Naidu 2'

In the past, a movie's success wasn't just measured by its collections but by how long it played in theaters. However, that's not the case anymore. Nowadays, a movie's success is decided based on its collections. As part of this shift, filmmakers also hype up daily earnings to build excitement among audiences. There are frequent comments within the industry suggesting that the collections announced by makers are far from reality. In this context, popular actor Rana Daggubati made some sensational remarks about movie collections. A video related to this has gone viral online. What did Rana say about collections? Rana Daggubati, a well-known actor in Tollywood, gained Pan-India fame after his roles in 'Baahubali' and 'Baahubali 2'. Recently, he appeared as the antagonist in Rajinikanth’s movie 'Vettaiyan'. In a recent interview, Rana made interesting comments about movie collections, saying, "Box office numbers are just a comedy. Many people might not know, but the numbers on posters are just for time pass. They are not real numbers. They are just for marketing purposes. They don’t relate to the actual gross or final money made." These comments by Rana went viral and became a topic of discussion in Tollywood. Fans are posting whether the crores claimed for our heroes' movies are real or not. https://twitter.com/i/status/1858578978132685054 This time, less profanity... There were significant criticisms of the first web series 'Rana Naidu', which Rana did with his uncle Victory Venkatesh, especially since Venkatesh is known for connecting well with family audiences and they were unable to accept the use of profanity in the series. Due to dissatisfaction about the series not being suitable for family viewing, there is news of an upcoming Part 2. In this context, Rana spoke about Season 2, stating that the shooting for the second series is complete and that the content and language will be improved this time. However, he reminded that the first series was advised not to be watched by family audiences, but no one heeded the advice, leading to severe trolling. Rana’s Talk Show on Amazon Tollywood hero Nandamuri Balakrishna’s host role in the talk show 'Unstoppable' has been a huge success, well-known for creating a buzz on the OTT platform Aha. Amazon Prime is now planning a talk show with Rana Daggubati as the host. 'The Rana Daggubati Show' is set to stream starting November 23. It's reported that Ram Gopal Varma, Nani, Naga Chaitanya, Dulquer Salmaan, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Teja Sajja, and Sreeleela will appear as guests. Rana mentioned in a recent interview that the first season will have 8 episodes, each lasting over 40 minutes. He expressed a desire to invite Prabhas and Balakrishna to the show and is in talks to make a decision soon, which has immensely pleased the fans of both the Rebel and Nandamuri camps.

Rajamouli’s Big ‘What If’: Suriya Was Almost Cast in Magadheera – How It Could’ve Changed Telugu Cinema

Tamil star Suriya’s upcoming film Kanguva is all set for a grand pan-India release on November 14. With the release date approaching, Suriya and the Kanguva team are actively promoting the film through various events, including a recent pre-release event. At this event, special guest Rajamouli mentioned that he once considered making a film with Suriya, sparking widespread curiosity. Fans are now speculating which film this might have been. Let’s take a closer look. Which Film Was It? The mega-blockbuster Magadheera (Ram Charan) catapulted Charan’s career to new heights under Rajamouli’s direction. According to the latest buzz, Rajamouli initially wanted to cast Suriya in Magadheera. While there were strong rumors about Rajamouli wanting Suriya for Baahubali, these rumors were debunked by Rajamouli’s father and writer Vijayendra Prasad, who clarified that Baahubali was designed specifically for Prabhas. However, it’s believed that Rajamouli initially considered Suriya for Magadheera. At the Kanguva pre-release event, Rajamouli praised Suriya’s Ghajini, which was released in 2005—four years before Magadheera in 2009. Considering that Magadheera took three years to complete, it’s likely Rajamouli had the script ready by 2006. Based on these timelines, fans speculate that Magadheera was the film Rajamouli envisioned for Suriya. What If That Had Happened? If Suriya had done Magadheera instead of Ram Charan, Charan’s career might have looked very different. After his debut with Chirutha, which received moderate success, Charan struggled to establish a strong foothold until Magadheera cemented his position in the industry. Even though he acted in several films after Magadheera, he didn’t experience another significant breakthrough until Rangasthalam in 2018. Industry analysts and fans believe that without Magadheera, Charan’s career might not have reached the heights it did. ‘Missed Chance to Work with Suriya’ At the Kanguva pre-release event, Rajamouli expressed admiration for Kollywood actor Suriya, crediting him as an inspiration for his pan-India films. He acknowledged Suriya’s impact on promoting Telugu cinema globally, citing Suriya’s promotion for Ghajini as a case study on how actors from different industries can connect with Telugu audiences. Rajamouli explained that Suriya’s efforts inspired him while creating Baahubali but noted that, despite wanting to work with Suriya, the opportunity never materialized. https://twitter.com/AadhanTelugu/status/1854710204740309097 ‘Told the Story… It Didn’t Work Out’ In a recent interview, Tamil star Karthi shared an interesting story about Rajamouli’s attempt to collaborate with him and Suriya. During the promotions for Satyam Sundaram, Karthi, in a conversation with director Gautham Menon, revealed that Rajamouli had once narrated a story to him and Suriya. “Rajamouli Sir told us a story that was good, but the movie didn’t materialize,” Karthi explained. Fans were stunned, wondering why they would pass on a Rajamouli film. If this project had taken off, it might have further elevated the careers of both Suriya and Karthi. https://twitter.com/adarshtp_offl/status/1835533193111392319

Rajamouli Scouts Kenyan Landscapes for Mahesh Babu’s Next Epic: #SSMB29

After the massive blockbuster success of 'RRR', director SS Rajamouli has grabbed everyone’s attention by announcing his next film with superstar Mahesh Babu. The anticipation is high for when this exciting combination will kick off. Recent updates have thrilled fans, with leaked photos showcasing Mahesh Babu's look for the film causing quite a stir. Currently, Rajamouli is busy with the pre-production activities of the movie, and a photo he shared has gone viral on the internet. Rajamouli in the Midst of Location Scouting It is known that SS Rajamouli is directing an action-adventure movie featuring Mahesh Babu. The film team is currently focused on pre-production activities for #SSMB29. In this context, a recent photo shared by Rajamouli, showing him in a desert area, has gone viral. He captioned it, "Roaming to discover," indicating his search for locations for Mahesh’s movie. Fans are eagerly awaiting more updates. View this post on Instagram A post shared by SS Rajamouli (@ssrajamouli) Has the Location Been Confirmed? Director Rajamouli is currently in Africa. He and his son Karthikeya are exploring the national parks in Kenya, searching for forest regions and areas where animals are prevalent. The latest photo shared by Rajamouli was also taken there. Alongside, a video has also gone viral showing Rajamouli traveling in a safari vehicle, inspecting locations in the national park. Given the movie’s backdrop set in Amazonian forests, part of it will likely be shot in Kenya’s national parks. https://twitter.com/i/status/1565532933183930368 Utilization of AI Technology! For the global project 'SSMB 29', Rajamouli is set to use AI technology, for which special training has been undertaken. Some characters and animals in the movie will be developed using AI technology. Rajamouli’s films are known for their extensive use of VFX, and with AI integration, these effects are expected to double in this film. Several international actors will appear in the movie, which will be dubbed in foreign languages as well as Indian languages. The movie is rumored to have a budget of about Rs. 1000 crores. https://twitter.com/i/status/1565532933183930368 'Copying is Not Wrong' Rajamouli, who has brought great fame to Telugu cinema globally, often faces criticism with every film release. There are claims on the internet that Rajamouli copies scenes from Hollywood movies. Videos purportedly proving this point trend on social media. Rajamouli has responded to these claims, acknowledging that he does draw inspiration from Hollywood films. "Since childhood, we've been influenced by Hollywood films. I always wondered why our films couldn’t reach that level. Every time they say we copied, we did it better than the original, and no one is harmed. If I copied from a Tamil or Malayalam film, it would affect those writers and directors, so I don’t see taking inspiration from Hollywood as wrong," he defended. https://twitter.com/i/status/1565532933183930368 Is the Story Based on Those Novels? Rajamouli’s father, star writer Vijayendra Prasad, is providing the story for 'SSMB29.' There are rumors that the team has bought the rights to two African novels by Wilbur Smith, considering the movie's setting in African forests. This has led to speculation that Rajamouli's project will be based on these novels. The film unit needs to clarify the truths about this. https://twitter.com/i/status/1565532933183930368

Rajamouli, Prabhas, NTR, and Bunny: Tollywood's Box Office Titans Dominating the ₹1000 Crore Club

In Tollywood, reaching ₹100 crore in collections was once not a common feat. If a film crossed ₹100 crore during its lifetime, it was considered a significant achievement. However, the scenario has drastically changed in recent times. Director SS Rajamouli has elevated Tollywood to a global scale, making it common for our heroes to easily rake in ₹100 crores on the opening day alone. Recently, NTR also smashed records by grossing ₹172 crores on the first day alongside the godly figures. Several star heroes and directors from Tollywood have carved their own unique markets and can effortlessly claim these numbers with a solid hit. Let's take a look at these special figures. Market Over ₹1000 Crores! Director SS Rajamouli creates a global buzz with every film. His direction in 'Baahubali 2' (₹1810 crores) and 'RRR' (₹1300 crores) brought in over ₹1000 crores each. He is currently directing 'SSMB 29' with Mahesh Babu, which is expected to hit a global stride and is projected to gross around ₹2000 crores. On the other hand, pan-India star Prabhas has created a unique market for himself regardless of directors. His recent film 'Kalki 2898 AD' grossed over ₹1200 crores. With big projects like 'Kalki 2', 'Salaar 2', 'Spirit', and 'Raja Saab' in his pipeline, these films are poised to reach over ₹1000 crores. Market Between ₹700-1000 Crores Currently, Tollywood boasts five individuals who have a market capacity of from ₹700 Crores to ₹1000 crores. Among the heroes, Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun easily fit this bill. Allu Arjun is set to release 'Pushpa 2' on December 6, and with the national buzz it's generating, it could easily make between ₹700-1000 crores if it becomes a hit. Mahesh Babu is set to drastically raise his market with an upcoming film directed by Rajamouli. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is planning his next film with Prabhas, is expected to touch the ₹1000 crore mark, as per industry analysts. Prashanth Neel’s upcoming projects with NTR ('NTR31') and Prabhas ('Salaar 2') also place him in this high market bracket. Market Between ₹500-700 Crores In this market range, three Tollywood heroes stand out. NTR, Ram Charan, and Pawan Kalyan can easily achieve this with a proper hit. Notably, Tarak has already shown the potential to easily join the ₹500 crore club with his recent success with Devara. Ram Charan, collaborating with director Shankar on 'Game Changer', is expected to release around Christmas, and success here could similarly elevate him to the ₹500 crore club. Pawan Kalyan has yet to venture into pan-India films, but his upcoming projects 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' and 'OG' are set at this level. There's significant anticipation for 'OG' among fans. Market Between ₹200-500 Crores From Tollywood, megastar Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna are likely contenders for this category. At 69, Chiranjeevi's star power remains undiminished. His upcoming movie 'Vishwambhara' is highly anticipated and could easily make ₹200-500 crores if successful. Balakrishna’s last three films have each crossed ₹100 crores. His next, 'NBK109' directed by Bobby, features Bollywood actor Bobby Deol as the antagonist. A successful clash between them could easily surpass ₹200 crores. Meanwhile, script magician Trivikram, despite mixed reviews for his last film 'Gunturu Karam', managed ₹250 crores. His next film is rumored to be with Allu Arjun, which could potentially rake in ₹500 crores if successful. Director Koratala Siva has also increased his market value with the film 'Devara', projecting his future films to start above the ₹200 crore mark.

SS Rajamouli's Next Epic with Mahesh Babu: A Grand Adventure Awaits with 'SSMB29'

After achieving a massive blockbuster with 'RRR', director SS Rajamouli has captured everyone's attention by announcing his next film with superstar Mahesh Babu. The entire film industry is eagerly awaiting the start of this exciting combination. Currently, Rajamouli is busy with the pre-production work of the film. However, it is learned that he will be working differently for 'SSMB29' compared to his previous films. Let’s find out what decision Rajamouli has taken this time. Rajamouli’s Master Plan! For the upcoming 'SSMB29' starring Mahesh Babu, director Rajamouli has decided to proceed with a new strategy. Generally, Rajamouli’s movies have extensive scope for VFX, which means equal importance must be given to shooting and graphics work. To address this, the director has devised a master plan. He plans to shoot the VFX-related scenes in advance. Accordingly, pre-production work is underway to ensure these scenes are ready to be handed over to the VFX teams early. This strategy allows for simultaneous completion of VFX work and shooting, potentially speeding up the entire filmmaking process and thrilling the fans. Addressing the Criticisms SS Rajamouli, one of the most esteemed directors in the country, has faced recent criticism for the lengthy durations it takes to release his films, often three to four years. To counter this, it's known that Rajamouli has made strategic decisions regarding VFX work. With such planning, it is expected that the film could be released within one or two years. It is anticipated that 'SSMB 29', even if it starts filming next year, could be released by the end of 2026. Following the Paths of 'RRR' and 'Baahubali' Like his period dramas 'Baahubali' and 'RRR', Rajamouli is reportedly preparing a similar epic narrative for Mahesh Babu. There is strong buzz that this movie will be set in the 18th century and is an ambitious attempt to recreate a story from 225 years ago. Rajamouli plans to authentically portray the tribal looks of hundreds of years ago for the cast. Producer KL Narayana is expected to fund this grand venture with a budget of Rs. 1000 crores, and Hollywood technicians are being hired to meet the production's high standards. Inspiration for the Story The Mahesh Babu-Rajamouli film is rumored to be an adventure thriller set against an African backdrop. In a recent interview, Rajamouli's father and renowned writer Vijayendra Prasad mentioned that they both are huge fans of South African novelist Wilbur Smith, which inspired him to base the screenplay on Smith's books. However, he assures that the screenplay will bear Rajamouli's signature style. MM Keeravani is set to compose the music for the film.

SS Rajamouli's Unmade Film with Suriya and Karthi: A Missed Opportunity Before 'RRR'?

Director SS Rajamouli, who elevated Indian cinema to a global level and became the country's top director with 'Baahubali,' gained worldwide popularity with the film 'RRR.' The song "Naatu Naatu" from this film even won an Oscar, garnering accolades from all corners of the country. Currently, Rajamouli is busy launching a global-scale film 'SSMB29' with Mahesh Babu. Amidst this, an intriguing piece of news about Rajamouli has surfaced. It is known that he initially considered making a film with Kollywood stars Suriya and his brother Karthi, and it was rumored to be 'RRR.' Let's look into the details of this. 'They Narrated the Story... It Didn’t Work Out' Tamil star Karthi recently made interesting remarks in an interview. During the promotions for his next movie 'Satyam Sundaram,' Karthi, in an interview with director Gautham Menon, shared an intriguing past discussion. When Menon asked about acting alongside Suriya, Karthi revealed, "Suriya and I will act together if we get the right script. In the past, Director Rajamouli sir narrated a story to us. It was good but that movie didn’t work out." This revelation has surprised movie lovers, prompting questions about how they could pass up a Rajamouli story. There is speculation that had that movie been made, Suriya and Karthi’s stardom might have seen a different trajectory. https://twitter.com/adarshtp_offl/status/1835533193111392319 The Story of 'RRR'? Netizens speculate that the movie Rajamouli planned with Suriya and Karthi might have been 'RRR.' They assume that initially, Rajamouli envisioned Suriya and Karthi in the roles later played by Ram Charan and Tarak. For various reasons, that version never progressed to filming. Telugu audiences believe that if Karthi and Suriya had starred in 'RRR,' it might not have achieved the same level of success. They note that while the action and drama of 'RRR' are highlights, the dance sequences also stood out, an area where Suriya and Karthi might have lagged behind Charan and Tarak. Karthi as a Contender to Tarak! Karthi's latest film 'Satyam Sundari' is ready for release, where he stars alongside prominent actor Aravind Swamy. The film, directed by Prem Kumar C., who delivered the blockbuster '96,' is set to release worldwide on September 28. A teaser of the film was recently released and has captured attention. Karthi has also announced his next project, which will be produced under the banner of Dream Warrior Pictures as 'Karthi 29.' Details about the rest of the cast and technical team are expected to be released soon. 'SSMB 29' Shooting in December! Ever since Rajamouli announced a film with Mahesh Babu, everyone has been eagerly waiting to see when the film will go on floors. In this context, there is news that an official update related to SSMB29 will be given on Rajamouli's birthday. Regular shooting for the film is set to begin in December, with the first schedule starting in Germany. The film, set against an 18th-century backdrop featuring rare tribal communities, is creating strong buzz. An official announcement regarding this is expected soon.

Why Trying to Imitate Rajamouli’s Magic Backfires: The Lessons 'Kanguva' and Other Films Learned the Hard Way

Among the nation's esteemed directors, Rajamouli holds a top position. From the beginning of his career to the present, he has maintained a streak of success without a single flop. Rajamouli is a master at grasping the pulse of the audience and crafting films accordingly. To date, each of the 12 films released under Rajamouli's direction has achieved unique acclaim and remains evergreen in the eyes of the audience. However, many directors have attempted to emulate Rajamouli's style and failed. They tried making films with similar themes to Rajamouli's and ended up burning their fingers. Recently, Kanguva also followed Rajamouli's pattern but ended up disappointing the audience. What are the reasons for this? What other films have faced setbacks by following Rajamouli's approach? Let's find out. Did They Err by Comparing It to 'Baahubali'? The film Kanguva, directed by Shiva starring Suriya, was released worldwide on November 14. The pre-release event of this film invited Rajamouli, and the promotions hyped it as what 'Baahubali' is to Tollywood, 'Kanguva' would be to Kollywood, setting high expectations. However, post-release, the situation seems to have turned upside down. Viewers felt that the film lacked the substance found in 'Baahubali' and criticized director Shiva for his flawed storytelling. Rajamouli is known for evoking strong emotions, but Kanguva failed to resonate emotionally with the audience. The characters could not engage the audience on a journey, and viewers commented that it's worth watching the film only for Suriya's performance. Those Films Too Were the Same! Like 'Kanguva,' several past films have tried to replicate Rajamouli's formula and ended up being unsuccessful. The movie 'Sakthi' (2011) featuring Jr. NTR and directed by Meher Ramesh, aimed to captivate like 'Magadheera' but flopped. 'Sakthi' also revolved around a reincarnation theme but failed to capture the Telugu audience. 'Brahmastra,' starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, despite its large budget, failed to impress due to its inadequate content and visual spectacle. Even 'Ponniyin Selvan,' despite garnering positive reviews in Kollywood, could not create a sensation and only the first part met expectations while the second part did not live up to the hype. Bollywood’s 'Shamshera,' set against a British backdrop similar to RRR, also faced a terrible defeat. In Tamil, 'Puli' and in Malayalam, 'Marakkar,' although creating significant buzz in the style of a Rajamouli film, failed to succeed. The Secret to Rajamouli’s Success! When people think of a Rajamouli film, they envision a stellar cast, massive budget, spectacular graphics, and an evergreen story. These elements are considered reasons for his films’ sensational success. However, these factors are just key components that aid success, not the core of it. Rajamouli's real formula lies in the emotional drama—something many films miss and only Rajamouli manages to carry through. He places significant emphasis on emotions in his films, which he believes are crucial for success. Rajamouli creates an emotional bond between the viewer and the characters, drawing the audience deeply into his movies. This engagement makes the characters linger with the viewers, even after leaving the cinema, prompting them to revisit the film. This emotional connection is something many directors struggle to emulate. Rajamouli Busy with Upcoming Projects Following RRR, Rajamouli is set to direct a new film featuring Mahesh Babu, known as SSMB 29, which will be a pan-world movie.

Rajinikanth Praises Rana Daggubati’s Intense Performance in 'Vettaiyan'!

After matching Prabhas's performance in 'Baahubali', Daggubati Rana has garnered Pan-India popularity. As the grandson of legendary producer Daggubati Ramanaidu, Rana has carved a unique identity for himself in the industry, earning acclaim in Hindi films and supporting Telugu cinema in Bollywood. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth's latest film 'Vettaiyan' features Rana in a pivotal role, with a grand release planned for October 10. At the recent movie audio launch, Rajinikanth made intriguing comments about Rana. 'Rana was terrifying' In the film 'Vettaiyan', directed by 'Jai Bhim' fame TJ Gnanavel, Rajinikanth spoke at the audio function. He extensively praised Rana, highlighting his achievements and recalling knowing him since he was a child through his grandfather. Rajinikanth noted that Rana used to visit the sets even as a boy, always jovial, but now he appears serious in his acting roles, which genuinely startled him. This video of Rajinikanth’s comments has gone viral online, with netizens admiring a superstar like Rajinikanth praising Rana. https://twitter.com/i/status/1843720706057724332 Rajinikanth Alters the Story Rajinikanth recently shared insights about the story of 'Vettaiyan'. He suggested changes to the original story brought by TJ Gnanavel, after his daughter Soundarya urged him to listen to it. Impressed, he requested the addition of commercial elements, which Gnanavel accepted, although he mentioned that it couldn't be turned into a film by directors like Nelson Dilipkumar or Lokesh Kanagaraj. Rajinikanth insisted on those changes, otherwise, he would have approached other directors. Ten days later, Gnanavel returned with the revised script, which surprised Rajinikanth. He also insisted that Anirudh should be the sole music director for the film. Accusations Against Rajinikanth by a Tamil Director Kollywood star director KS Ravikumar has made serious accusations against superstar Rajinikanth, stirring significant controversy. Their previous collaboration on 'Lingaa' didn't perform well, leading to negative publicity. In a recent YouTube interview, the director discussed the film's failure, attributing it to Rajinikanth's interference in editing. He claimed that Rajinikanth didn't allow enough time for computer graphics and completely altered the second half, removing a song with Anushka and a twist in the climax, and adding an artificial balloon jumping scene, contributing to the film’s disarray. These comments have now gone viral on social media. Rajinikanth’s Future Projects Exciting news has surfaced regarding Rajinikanth's future projects. There's strong buzz about him working with star director Mani Ratnam, reuniting after 33 years since their successful 1991 film 'Thalapathi'. Discussions between Rajinikanth and Mani Ratnam have reportedly taken place. If all goes as planned, an official announcement might be made on Rajinikanth's birthday in December, according to Kollywood sources. On another front, Rajinikanth will be seen in 'Coolie', directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, followed by 'Jailer 2' under the direction of Nelson Dilip Kumar.

He is reportedly participating in workshops with Mahesh Babu and other actors, where he provides valuable advice and suggestions, especially on dialogue delivery. Nassar has previously played a similar role in Rajamouli's epic films 'Baahubali' and 'RRR', where he coached stars like Prabhas, Jr. NTR, and Ram Charan in regional dialects.

Mahesh Babu’s Dramatic Transformation for SS Rajamouli’s SSMB 29 Shakes Social Media!

It goes without saying that a film by SS Rajamouli always comes with high expectations. When paired with superstar Mahesh Babu, these expectations reach new heights. It's already known that Mahesh Babu is undergoing a significant makeover for the movie. His new look has been spotted in various contexts, sporting long hair and a beard, a dramatic change from his usual style. Recently, Mahesh wowed everyone again with a stylish new look. Photos related to this are currently shaking up social media. Mahesh Babu's Mind-Blowing Look! Fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming project 'SSMB 29' (working title), a collaboration between Mahesh Babu and the legendary director SS Rajamouli. For this film, Mahesh has grown out his hair and beard and bulked up his body. Consequently, his recent appearances have gone viral. Once again, Mahesh Babu's looks are trending online. While heading abroad, he was spotted at the airport looking stylish in a cream-colored hoodie, black goggles, and a red cap, complementing his long hair and rough beard. Recently, photos of Mahesh and his wife meeting Telangana CM Revanth Reddy have surfaced, showing that his hair and beard have grown even bushier compared to his previous look. These photos have gone viral on social media. https://twitter.com/GulteOfficial/status/1843123055985635398 Staying Close to His Son? Superstar Mahesh Babu often travels abroad with his family. It's known that he has once again set off on an international trip. A viral video from the airport shows him with his wife Namrata and daughter Sitara. However, it seems he traveled to the US to be with his son Gautam during the Dussehra holidays. Fans are admiring Mahesh for the importance he places on his family. With 'SSMB 29' about to start, fans commend him for dedicating this time to his family. https://twitter.com/i/status/1843173118166356044 Is This Really Mahesh Babu's Look? Fans are going crazy over Mahesh Babu's latest look, praising him for resembling a Hollywood hero. Comments suggest that Mahesh's look for 'SSMB29' is nearly finalized. However, the Tollywood buzz indicates that this is the look Mahesh will sport in the movie. After letting his hair and beard grow out, Rajamouli is expected to call in a hair stylist from abroad to style Mahesh into four or five different looks. Which one Rajamouli finalizes will ultimately be the look used in the film. Thus, fans mistakenly thought the current look was the final one. Mahesh Enjoys Freedom! Rajamouli takes special care to ensure the looks of his film's heroes remain a secret. He typically sets conditions to prevent the reveal of the look during the shooting period. Stars like Prabhas, Ram Charan, and Jr NTR followed this practice during the filming of 'Bahubali' and 'RRR.' Unlike them, Mahesh freely poses for cameras wherever he goes, revealing his makeover in some form. However, the reason Mahesh can roam freely is likely because this is not his final look. Once the final look is decided, Mahesh will probably take measures to avoid exposing it. Shooting Starts in December Currently, pre-production work for 'SSMB 29' is almost complete after several months of preparation. The entire team is expected to participate in a workshop by the end of this month. Rajamouli plans to start regular shooting from December. Furthermore, preparations are underway to begin the first schedule abroad, with a massive chase sequence planned in international forests. Given the global scale of the cinema, graphics work is crucial, and Rajamouli intends to finish these scenes first and then hand them over to the VFX team, ensuring that shooting and VFX work proceed in parallel.

'Devara’ Breaks the 23-Year Rajamouli Sentiment: NTR’s Film Triumphs After RRR

The latest film featuring the Man of the Masses, Tarak, titled 'Devara' has been released grandly today (September 27). Despite some mixed opinions, the film overall is being touted as a hit. The music by Anirudh is reportedly next level. Having shattered several records even before its release, the film is expected to achieve even more milestones, with fans confident about its success. Interestingly, it's said that Tarak has broken a flop record of Rajamouli that has been ongoing for 23 years, declared by none other than Rajamouli's son. Rajamouli’s Flop Sentiment! It’s a well-known fact that a film with director Rajamouli is a blockbuster. However, post a Rajamouli film, no hero until now has managed an immediate hit. Every hero has faced a box office disaster following their film with Rajamouli, a sentiment that started 23 years ago with Rajamouli’s first film 'Student No.1'. Following 'Student No.1' and 'Simhadri', Tarak faced major failures. Similarly, post 'Vikramarkudu' Ravi Teja, post 'Maryada Ramanna' Sunil, and post 'Eega' Nani all faced flops. After 'Baahubali 2', Prabhas, Rana, and Anushka also failed in their subsequent films. Naturally, there were apprehensions about 'Devara' following 'RRR' with Tarak. Breaking the 23-Year Record The flop sentiment with Rajamouli started with Tarak on September 27, 2001, with the release of 'Student No.1'. 23 years later, on the same day, 'Devara' was released and has garnered hit talk, thus ending the flop cycle that started on the same day with the same person 23 years ago. This has sparked a flurry of comments on social media that Tarak has shattered the bad sentiment linked with Rajamouli. Now, fans believe that no hero needs to worry about the Rajamouli flop sentiment anymore. Karthikeya’s Special Post Karthikeya, Rajamouli's son, also tweeted about this, "Finally, the 23-year myth has been broken. It ended on the same day it began with the same person. I grew up watching him closely, seeing his growth and success. Now I see the wonders he's performing. I am speechless at the contribution he’s making to Telugu cinema. This is a big gift he has given to the fans. Devara is the biggest mass celebration in cinema. Now, even the madness speaks. All hail the tiger," along with a photo taken with NTR. https://twitter.com/ssk1122/status/1839476779175567669 Rajamouli Watching Devara with Fans The buzz around 'Devara' is evident across theaters in the Telugu states. After nearly six years, NTR's solo movie has his fans ecstatic. Amid this festive atmosphere, Rajamouli watched the film. Accompanied by his family, he greeted movie enthusiasts at the Maithri Vimal theater in Balanagar and watched the film with them. Videos related to this are going viral online. Producer Dil Raju and director Anil Ravipudi watched the movie at Sriramulu theater. Meanwhile, in a theater in Chennai, music director Anirudh watched the movie with fans and charged up the atmosphere by singing the Fear song. https://twitter.com/ArtistryBuzz/status/1839517947548794958 https://twitter.com/AnirudhTrend/status/1839516079560802450

Mahesh Babu has even changed his look in preparation, and both he and his fans are keenly awaiting details about when the international-scale production will start. Currently, 'SSMB29' is in the midst of active pre-production. However, recent developments have led to a surge of dissatisfaction among Mahesh Babu's fans towards director Rajamouli. Let's delve into the specifics of this update that has fans so upset. Here's Why the Fans Are Angry! Fans have been eagerly anticipating the 'SSMB29' project, a collaboration between Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli.

This news going viral online has infuriated Mahesh Babu's fans, who are questioning Rajamouli's decisions. However, some fans still believe that Rajamouli will definitely give a birthday treat. Heading to Sets in September! The pre-production work for 'SSMB29' is nearly complete. Director Rajamouli plans to start filming in September after wrapping up the remaining preparations. Recent buzz online has also speculated that Mahesh Babu will play dual roles in the film, including one with negative shades. Mahesh Babu has never played a dual role or a character with negative shades in any of his previous 28 films, which makes this update particularly exciting for fans. The veracity of this information needs confirmation from Rajamouli's team. The Film Will Be a Trilogy! Another exciting rumor about the 'SSMB 29' project is causing a stir online: the film will be released in three parts. It’s said that Rajamouli has proposed to the makers to develop the movie in three parts, considering the extensive scope for graphics and the depth of the story requiring at least three parts to be fully told.  Rajamouli spent five years completing the two-part 'Baahubali' saga. Now, there's speculation on how many years it will take to complete three parts for Mahesh Babu’s film. Nassar Joins the Movie Team! Recently, interesting news has also trended online that renowned actor Nassar is involved in the movie. He has been participating in workshops along with other actors, offering valuable suggestions and advice to Mahesh Babu, particularly in delivering dialogues. Nassar, a seasoned theater artist known for his roles in Telugu and Tamil films, has previously helped in Rajamouli’s 'Baahubali' and 'RRR' to teach actors how to deliver dialogues appropriate to various regional accents. His iconic performance as Bijjaladeva in 'Baahubali' has left a lasting impression. https://twitter.com/Fukkard/status/1810503350913585650
