Last month, the veteran director attended the Toronto International Film Festival. There, he shared his piece of mind about the film. Rajamouli said, “My next film with Mahesh Babu will be a globetrotting action adventure. It’s going to be a kind of James Bond or Indiana Jones film with Indian roots.”

On the professional front, Mahesh has recently wrapped the first schedule of the Trivikram Srinivas directorial. Interestingly, this is their third project together. They have worked together twice prior to this film, Athadu and Khaleja, and in both films became massive blockbusters.
