Superstar Mahesh Babu is currently busy with director SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi, but speculation is already growing around his next project.
According to recent reports, Mahesh Babu may reunite with director Anil Ravipudi for a new Telugu film after completing Varanasi. The project is reportedly being considered for a Sankranti 2028 release.
However, the makers have not yet officially confirmed the project, its release date or other details.
Mahesh Babu and Anil Ravipudi Reunion
Mahesh Babu and Anil Ravipudi previously collaborated on Sarileru Neekevvaru , which released in 2020.
The action-comedy became a successful theatrical outing, and a reunion between the actor and filmmaker could generate considerable interest among Telugu cinema fans.
What Could Happen After Varanasi?
Reports suggest that Mahesh Babu may look at a relatively quicker project after completing his commitments for Varanasi.
The actor is expected to focus on promotional activities for the Rajamouli directorial before moving on to his next project. If the collaboration with Anil Ravipudi materialises, the film could potentially target the 2028 Sankranti season.
Varanasi Raises Expectations
Directed by SS Rajamouli, Varanasi is being planned as a large-scale action-adventure film.
Mahesh Babu is set to play Rudra, while Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran are part of the cast.
The film is being mounted on a global scale and is among the most anticipated upcoming projects in Indian cinema.
Official Announcement Awaited
At present, details about the reported Mahesh Babu–Anil Ravipudi project remain unconfirmed.
Information regarding the title, storyline, female lead, production house and exact release date is expected to be announced officially if the project moves forward.
