Buchi Babu Sana Set to Direct Bollywood Badshah?

These days the film industry feels totally upside down. Earlier, a director had to deliver two-three hits back-to-back to even get called successful. Now? One good movie… and suddenly producers start throwing offers like they’re scared someone else will grab you first. The theatre crowd is shrinking, so people are betting big on whoever catches fire for even a moment.

And right now, that lucky guy seems to be Uppena director Buchi Babu Sana. His very first film became a huge hit in 2021, but he didn’t jump into random scripts. He waited for Ram Charan. Now Peddi is almost ready, and everything around it is buzzing like crazy. That Chikiri Chikiri song? All over India. Telugu, Hindi, Instagram… everywhere. So somewhere in this hype, one spicy rumour is floating around.

People in the industry are whispering that Buchi Babu has been picked to direct a giant Bollywood film… with Shah Rukh Khan. Yes, SRK himself. Sounds wild, but apparently Mythri Movie Makers even met him, pitched the project, and dropped a nice advance too. The rumour says the movie might be a ₹500 crore monster. Since Peddi is almost done shooting, the team might announce it only after wrapping that.

Is it real? Or just another Friday gossip? Nobody knows yet. But considering SRK already worked with South director Atlee for Jawan, this doesn’t feel totally crazy. If it turns out true, Buchi Babu’s career is about to jump like ten steps at once. For now, let’s just wait and enjoy the chaos.
