Undisclosed Details Of Rajamouli’s Next With Mahesh Babu

Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu who has a big release this week Sarkaru Vaari Paata will be moving to his  next project sometime in July.

 Hopefully by then  S  S Rajamouli would have  the script for the proposed project ready. To be jointly penned  by Rajamouli  and his  screenwriter father  Vijayendra Prasad, the untitled  film is  said to be a contemporary adventure-thriller.

“Mahesh Babu is  not too keen on doing a costume drama or a period film at this stage  of his career.His fans  like to see him in contemporary themes with a  social message. And after  Baahubali and RRR Rajamouli has had enough of  chariots , bows-arrows and  vintage cars. So Mahesh Babu’s film will be set  in a contemporary setting.”

More  importantly there will be no Bollywood heroine  in  the Mahesh Babu-Rajamouli  project. Until  a  year  back  Bollywood  hotties like  Shraddha Kapoor, Deepika Padukone  and Pooja Hegde  were being paid astronomical amounts to  lend their  presence in Telugu cinema. This trend has changed after  the pan-India  success  of Pushpa and KGF . Both starred leading ladies  who are unknown to Hindi audiences.

Says a  source close to Mahesh Babu, “He doesn’t need  any pricey heroine  from Bollywood.Nor does  he crave to be a  pan-India star. If it happens, it happens.If not he is  more than  happy with his fan base  in Andhra and Telangana.”
