Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli’s soon-to-commence pan-international project is undoubtedly the most eagerly awaited movie in India. The filming for this as-yet-untitled film will begin very soon, and the pre-production formalities are nearing completion.

The Mahesh Babu-Rajamouli project materialized almost a decade ago. However, Rajamouli didn’t prepare any storylines when the project was locked. In a latest interview while promoting Love Mouli, the film’s director, Avaneendra, who was Rajamouli’s assistant director on RRR, revealed an interesting update.

The young director revealed that during the making of RRR, Rajamouli had asked his team about the kind of story and genre he had to choose for Mahesh Babu’s film. Even though several genres were initially discussed, Rajamouli and his team had finally zeroed in on the adventure genre for SSMB29 following a unanimous decision. It was then that Rajamouli and his father, Vijayendra Prasad, began working on the story for SSMB29.
