Fans Compare Mahesh Babu to Hollywood Icons and His Father
Mahesh Babu’s rugged look is already trending on social media, with fans drawing comparisons to Hollywood icon Keanu Reeves and his famous John Wick character.

While some fans are taken aback by the dramatic change, others are thrilled and believe this new appearance signals a more intense and action-packed role in the upcoming film.
Collaboration with SS Rajamouli After the Success of RRR
Mahesh Babu’s next film with director SS Rajamouli is already one of the most talked-about projects in the Indian film industry.

The film is expected to be a visual spectacle, with its first schedule reportedly planned for Germany. Though pre-production is still ongoing, filming is expected to kick off in December or early next year.
