Superstar Mahesh Babu is currently immersed in one of the most ambitious projects of his career—his upcoming globe-trotting adventure with legendary director SS Rajamouli. While the film is still in production, what’s catching fans’ attention is not just the scale but also the light-hearted banter between the star and the director.
From the outset, Rajamouli jokingly claimed he would “confiscate Mahesh’s passport” to keep him from taking frequent vacations—a nod to Mahesh’s well-known love for travel. The friendly jibe was all in good humor but showed how seriously Rajamouli is taking the commitment required for this epic film.
Mahesh Babu, known for his wit, responded in style by quoting his iconic Pokiri line: “Once I commit, I won’t even listen to myself.” It was a fun moment that underscored his dedication to the film while keeping the mood light.
Recently, Mahesh wrapped up a major schedule of the film and was spotted at Hyderabad airport, flashing his passport with a smile—a cheeky way of telling the world: “I got it back… for now.” The playful gesture confirmed he’s off on another short vacation before the team resumes an intense next phase.
The next shooting schedule is said to take place in Kenya, and once that kicks off, sources suggest Mahesh may not get any more vacation time. Rajamouli is famously meticulous about his actors’ physical appearance and preparation, so Mahesh might have to hand over that passport again soon!
The untitled film, expected to be a forest-based global action adventure, is creating immense buzz. It is rumored to feature Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran in key roles, adding further star power to this already massive project.
