Secret behind Mahesh look for Rajamouli SSMB29.Mahesh Babu's "Jakkanna" Look: Behind the Scenes of Rajamouli's Strict Style.
While director S.S. Rajamouli is known for his meticulous approach to filmmaking, he's also known for his stringent rules for actors in his films, often limiting their public appearances during production. However, Mahesh Babu, the lead actor in Rajamouli's upcoming "Jakkanna," seems to be enjoying a bit more freedom, prompting speculation about why he's been given a special exemption.
In the past, actors working with Rajamouli have faced restrictions on their public appearances. For instance, Ram Charan's commitment to "RRR" required him to seek permission for even special cameos in other projects. However, Mahesh Babu has been seen making public appearances, including a recent flood relief donation with Telangana CM Revanth Reddy, without any apparent limitations.
The reason for this apparent leniency lies in the film's meticulous planning and Mahesh Babu's unique look. Sources close to the team reveal that the "Jakkanna" look, which includes a thick mane, bushy beard, and mustache, is not the final version. Rajamouli has brought in hair stylists from abroad to create the final look, and a series of photographs are being shot to explore different designs with foreign experts.
Mahesh Babu will only be styled in the final chosen look after the design is finalized. In the meantime, he can move freely with a cap and mask covering his head and face, hence his public appearances.
The film's set is expected to be built early next year, with a launch date yet to be announced. Rajamouli's careful planning and meticulous attention to detail are evident in the preparation for this highly anticipated project. While fans eagerly await updates, the team's approach suggests that "Jakkanna" will be a visual spectacle that pushes boundaries and sets new standards for Indian cinema.
