Superstar Mahesh Babu is currently immersed in his highly ambitious project with S.S. Rajamouli, tentatively titled SSMB29. With a staggering budget of nearly ₹1,000 crore and Priyanka Chopra cast opposite him, the film is already being hailed as the biggest of his career. Slated for release in 2027, the movie has already completed a few schedules.

But even before the Rajamouli film hits screens, reports suggest that Mahesh Babu has locked another massive project with one of India’s most talked-about filmmakers.

Mahesh Babu’s Next After SSMB29

Industry buzz indicates that Mahesh Babu will also have a packed schedule in 2026. While his dates are committed to Rajamouli, leading production houses are eagerly approaching him for his next outing. Among them is Maithri Movie Makers, who are keen to collaborate with the superstar.

Collaboration with Asian Suniel and Sandeep Reddy Vanga

Adding fuel to the excitement, reports claim that producer Asian Suniel, who shares a strong professional bond with Mahesh Babu as a partner in AMB Cinemas, has already reached out with a promising project. The film is expected to be directed by none other than Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the man behind Arjun Reddy, Kabir Singh, and Animal.

Interestingly, sources reveal that Vanga had taken an advance from Asian Suniel during the release of Arjun Reddy, with a commitment to direct a film for him. Now, it seems that the filmmaker has developed a concept tailored specifically for Mahesh Babu.

If the project materializes, it will not only mark a first-time collaboration between Mahesh Babu and Sandeep Reddy Vanga but could also set the stage for one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema—right after the storm of SSMB29.
