Mahesh Babu’s next project SSMB29 is already in the works and the team has begun casting for the film. Touted to be an adventurous action-drama, the upcoming film will be directed by SS Rajamouli and produced by KL Narayana.
The latest report suggested that the director is quite interested to cast Deepika Padukone in his next project and is planning to approach the actress to narrate the whole idea of the movie. But, she hasn’t been approached yet and no official confirmation about the same has been there.
The film, written by Rajamouli's father K.V. Vijayendra Prasad, is said to be inspired by real life events. Tentatively titled 'SSMB29', the film is an adventure drama and will most likely go on floors by the first half of 2023. According to the media reports, this will be the first time when Deepika and Mahesh will be working together.
Meanwhile, Deepika is currently busy with another pan-India film titled 'Project K', where she will be seen along with Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan and Suniel Shetty. The film, which got delayed by a year due to Covid-19 pandemic, is being directed by Nag Ashwin.
Earlier, Deepika fell ill on the sets of 'Project K' and was rushed to a hospital after her heart rate spiked. The actress soon recovered and was back to shooting the fim. Prabhas is gearing up for his upcoming mythological film 'Adipurush' which will also star Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan.
