Mahesh Babu is currently abroad, preparing for the role. He is set to appear in a striking new look for what will be his most expensive film to date.

Rajamouli’s family will play key roles in the production. His father, Vijayendra Prasad, has written the story, while his brother, M. M. Keeravani, will compose the music. Rajamouli’s son, Karthikeya, will serve as the line producer. Notably, the usual cinematographer, Senthil Kumar, will not be involved in this project. The recent location scouting in Vizag has generated excitement, giving fans much to anticipate.
