We are already aware that Superstar Mahesh Babu will team up with maverick director SS Rajamouli for a new feature film soon. This will be their first collaboration together. Rajamouli will start working on this script after the release of RRR.
Meanwhile, it is now being heard that the Baahubali director has approached Tamil star Chiyaan Vikram to play the antagonist in this film. Apparently, the Aparichithudu actor will meet Rajamouli soon and discuss the role further.
It is heard that Rajamouli wanted a big hero from the Tamil industry to play this character. He felt that Vikram would be an apt choice and immediately contacted the actor.
Meanwhile, this film is going to be a big-budget project and belongs to a genre that both Mahesh and Rajamouli have never explored in their respective careers.
In an interview, the film’s writer Vijayendra Prasad hinted that it may run in the backdrop of African forests. However, we have to wait for a few more months to know further details of this project.
As of now, Vikram is busy with the works of Ponniyin Selvan, which is being directed by Mani Ratnam. Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Aishwarya Rai, Trisha, and Rahman are playing the other lead roles in this period drama. Ponniyin Selvan is being made in two parts. The first part will hit the screens in summer 2022.
