About Superstar Krishna’s iconic film Alluri Seetarama Raju
Superstar Krishna has acted in many iconic films throughout his illustrious career but one of his most celebrated works is Alluri Seetarama Raju. The film is based on the real-life story of Alluri Seetarama Raju, a freedom fighter who fought against British Rule in India. Remember Ram Charan’s portrayal of Alluri Seetarama Raju in RRR? Superstar Krishna did that exactly 50 years ago, on this date.
Mahesh Babu on the work front
Mahesh Babu was last seen in the commercial entertainer Guntur Kaaram, written and directed by Trivikram Srinivas. The film marked the third collaboration between these two powerhouses of Telugu cinema. Despite mixed responses from the audience, the film still managed to hold solid ground and emerged as a profitable venture for the makers.
The actor will be seen in S.S. Rajamouli’s magnum opus next, tentatively titled SSMB29. This highly-awaited project marks the first collaboration between Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli. The film’s pre-production work is currently in full swing with the actor seemingly growing out his hair for the project.
Earlier, it was reported that Mahesh Babu also traveled to Germany for some physical training for the film. From what we know so far, SSMB29 promises to be a globe-trotting adventure set in the backdrop of Africa. As revealed by the writer of SSMB29, K.V. Vijayendra Prasad, the film will follow a similar template to the Indiana Jones franchise.
Furthermore, Oscar award-winning musician MM Keerawani has started composing the music for the project. The film is expected to go on floors sometime in 2024.
