Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli are collaborating on a new film, dubbed as SSMB 29. While details about the film’s official title and plot are still under the wraps, a source has claimed to know details about the actor and the director’s pay for the film. It has been widely reported that Mahesh Babu often charges between Rs 60 to Rs 80 crore per film. However, when it comes to SSMB 29, the Telugu star is allegedly not charging a fee. Instead, he might be getting into a profit sharing deal.
As per a Hindustan Times report, multiple reports claim, “Mahesh Babu hasn’t taken any remuneration for this movie. Instead, both he and Rajamouli might share in the film’s profits, which could potentially be more lucrative.” Babu and Rajamouli are yet to react to the claims.
SSMB 29 has already generated a massive buzz. Reports have been doing the rounds suggesting that SSMB 29 will be India’s Indiana Jones. According to reports, Mahesh Babu’s character in SS Rajamouli’s upcoming film is inspired by Lord Hanuman. Writer Vijayendra Prasad, who has penned the story of the film, revealed in his latest interview that the makers will be roping in Hollywood actors for an action-adventure set in Africa.
Despite being set in an African jungle adventure, Mahesh Babu’s character will possess traits similar to Lord Hanuman, who is renowned for his valour and determination while facing challenges in the jungles. The character’s journey is expected to mirror the trajectory of Ramayana, albeit with Rajamouli’s unique touch added to it.
While the cast and crew are yet to be officially announced, there are reports suggesting that Deepika Padukone is being considered for the female lead role. With such high-profile talent and the promise of a grand-scale production, SSMB 29 is certainly shaping up to be an eagerly anticipated cinematic experience.
