Fans and audiences alike are eagerly awaiting the commencement of the much-anticipated Pan World movie, featuring superstar Mahesh Babu in collaboration with director Dheera Rajamouli. Speculation was rife that an announcement regarding the film's commencement would be made during Ugadi, but no updates were provided on the festival day. However, reliable sources suggest that there is a different plan in place.
It is rumored that the first look poster of the film will be unveiled as part of the celebrations for Superstar Krishna's birthday on May 31, potentially accompanied by further details and insights into the film. Excitement is mounting as fans eagerly anticipate this glimpse into the highly anticipated project.
In a noticeable change, Mahesh has adopted a new hairstyle, sporting a "julpa" style with raised hair at the back. He has been flaunting this new look openly at various events, hinting at a possible transformation for his character in the upcoming film. This change in appearance is not merely coincidental but is believed to be a deliberate choice, possibly indicating the beginning of a promotional campaign for the film.
Preparations for the film are underway, with Rajamouli meticulously planning the costumes for Mahesh's character, Talu, who embarks on a forest adventure. Despite initial plans for a teaser, it was deemed impractical and subsequently dropped. Instead, a photo shoot is scheduled for the upcoming week to capture the essence of the character and the film's narrative.
As the auspicious moments approach, regular shooting is expected to commence post-summer, with a significant portion of the film set to be shot indoors. The initial scenes will be filmed against a green mat backdrop, with VFX effects added later to create the desired ambiance and setting. The film is targeted for a 2026 release, and while it is widely believed that the project will be split into two parts, no official confirmation has been provided.
Despite the buzz surrounding the film, there has been a lack of usual hype surrounding SSMB 29, not only in Tollywood but also in the North. Discussions are ongoing regarding which production houses will partner with Sri Durga Arts for the project, with no final decisions made yet. Nevertheless, anticipation continues to build as fans eagerly await further developments and updates regarding this highly anticipated collaboration.
