The recent wedding of Mukesh Ambani's son, Anant Ambani, was a star-studded affair, bringing together luminaries from various film industries. Among them was superstar Mahesh Babu, whose striking new look at the ceremony sent the internet into a frenzy. His long beard and hair, reminiscent of a Hollywood hero, captivated audiences.

However, this unexpected reveal might have thrown a wrench in director SS Rajamouli's plans. The acclaimed filmmaker, known for his meticulous attention to detail and grand storytelling, reportedly had a specific vision for Mahesh Babu's character in their upcoming collaboration, a vision that included keeping the actor's new look under wraps.

It is said that Rajamouli had imposed a condition to keep Mahesh Babu's new look hidden, a strategy aimed at creating a surprise element for the film's promotion. While Mahesh Babu managed to conceal his makeover with caps and sunglasses in public appearances, the Ambani wedding ultimately broke the veil of secrecy.

Now, with the new look unveiled, Rajamouli might need to rethink his strategy. The director, who has built anticipation for the film with vague details about its globetrotting adventure narrative, will have to come up with a fresh approach to surprise the audience.

The script, which is said to be a complex and intricate affair like other Rajamouli films, has been in the works for a long time. The pre-production phase has been underway for months, with the team engaged in intensive workshops, including dialect training under the guidance of veteran actor Nasser.

With the new look reveal, the question now is how Rajamouli will manage to maintain the element of surprise, given the public's glimpse into Mahesh Babu's transformation. The film industry eagerly awaits to see what creative solutions the director conjures up to keep the audience captivated and excited for their upcoming collaboration.
