By: Tupaki Desk | 16 Feb 2024 5:23 AM GMTThe highly anticipated collaboration between superstar Mahesh Babu and director SS Rajamouli has become even more intriguing with rumours suggesting not one, but two potential titles for the pan-India film.
Which ones are "Maharaja" and "Chakravarthy," meaning "king" and "emperor" respectively, are reportedly being considered.
This unique approach to titling aligns with Rajamouli's style. While some of his films like "Simhadri" and "Baahubali" featured the protagonist's name, others like "Sye" and "Chatrapathi" used titles hinting at the character's qualities. Following this pattern,"Maharaja" or "Chakravarthy" could offer clues about Mahesh Babu's
character, suggesting a powerful and influential role.
Currently, the film is titled "SSMB29," a placeholder referencing Mahesh Babu's initials and his position in Rajamouli's filmography.Pre-production work is underway, penned by veteran writer Vijayendra Prasad, Rajamouli's father.
Regular shooting is expected to begin in the coming months, and an official title announcement is eagerly awaited by fans.
