Mahesh Babu’s Rajamouli Film Will Be In 2 Parts

The two-part trend for blockbuster films was  started by Rajamouli who split his Baahubali in two halves and is  still reaping  the  benefits. Prior to that  Ram Gopal Varma  split his gangster drama Raktacharitra(which introduced Tamil superstar Suriya into the Hindi belt) into two.But that  didn’t work.

More recently the very talented director Hemanth Rao  teamed  up with Rakshit Shetty  for the  stunning Sapta Saagaradaache Ello – Side A  which  hit theatres a few months ago.He is now back with the sequel Sapta Saagaradaache Ello – Side B which opens this week.

Now  a  source  very close to Mahesh Babu in Hyderabad  informs me that  his  untitled film with S S Rajamouli, which starts  shooting in early 2024, will also  be  a two-part feature film.

Informs the source, “Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli  discussed  it . They decided  that the script sprawls into  a far  wider spectrum than the normal playing-time of  a film. They had two choices: either  make a 4-hour-plus feature, or split it  into two and release it with within two months of  each other. They opted for the latter.”
