Following the success of Mahesh Babu’s most recent film, Sarkaru Vaari Paata, all eyes are now on his upcoming venture alongside Trivikram, tentatively titled SSMB28. With a puja ceremony, the film started production earlier this month. Although there are few details regarding the film, there is an intriguing report circulating. Mahesh Babu will not be the film’s only male lead.

With recent films like Bahubali, RRR, and Acharya having two leading males carrying the weight of the picture, Tollywood’s biggies are leaning towards multi-starrers. Mahesh Babu has yet to appear in a multi-starrer film, but if recent claims are to be believed, the actor will star in his next with Trivikram. Along with Mahesh Babu, the director is said to have cast another starring male.

The following question is who will play the other lead. Nani is said to be the person in question. Trivikram has approached Ghanta Naveen Babu, better known by his screen name as Nani, for a role, and the actor has granted his approval. The news of Mahesh Babu’s and Nani’s exciting partnership has raised the stakes for the film.

After Athadu and Khaleja, SSMB28 is filmmaker Trivikram’s third collaboration with actor Mahesh Babu. S Radhakrishna is financing the project under the Haarika and Hassine Creations label, which was presented by Mamatha. Navin Nooli (editing), Madhie (cinematography), and S Thaman make up the team (music direction). In the film, Pooja Hegde plays the female lead opposite Mahesh Babu. The film’s title is said to have been finalized, and a major announcement regarding the film is set to take place on May 31, Mahesh Babu’s father, superstar Krishna’s birthday.
