No Pay, Just Profits; For Superstar Mahesh?

The upcoming Telugu film tentatively titled "SSMB29," starring superstar Mahesh Babu and directed by the iconic SS Rajamouli, has ignited excitement with a viral rumor. According to industry gossip, both Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli might forgo their usual salaries and instead opt for a profit-sharing arrangement.

While Mahesh Babu typically commands a high fee for his films, reports suggest he's willing to share in the success of "SSMB29" alongside Rajamouli. This profit-sharing model isn't uncommon in the Indian film industry, with earlier stars like Chiranjeevi and Shah Rukh Khan employing it. If true, this move by Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli demonstrates their confidence in the project and a commitment to its success.

The potential profit-sharing deal implies both parties would share the financial rewards, as well as any potential risks, based on the film's performance at the box office. However, considering the combined star power of Mahesh Babu and the phenomenal track record of SS Rajamouli, the chances of "SSMB29" underperforming seem remarkably low.

Rajamouli, known for his meticulous filmmaking and ability to deliver blockbuster hits like "Baahubali," will undoubtedly strive for perfection. Additionally, Mahesh Babu's stellar performance in his recent film "Guntur Kaaram" showcased his talent and ability to carry a film. With this powerful combination, "SSMB29" is already generating immense anticipation, and the rumored profit-sharing model only adds to the buzz surrounding this highly awaited project.
