A collaboration with SS Rajamouli has historically marked a career-defining high point for every leading hero involved, and expectations are no different for Mahesh Babu. The superstar is currently shooting for Varanasi, his much-awaited pan-India film with Rajamouli, a project widely tipped to become the biggest blockbuster of his career. The film is expected to remain in production for nearly two to three years, with the primary shoot likely to wrap up by summer 2026.
Even as Varanasi progresses, Mahesh Babu’s next move is already generating strong buzz within the industry. Several producers are reportedly eager to sign him immediately after the Rajamouli film. However, unlike earlier phases of his career, Mahesh is said to be keen on producing his next project under his own banner, GMB Entertainment, or entering a joint production rather than working exclusively under an external producer.
This shift signals a clear intent to gain greater creative control and strategically shape his post-Varanasi filmography. The actor and his team are currently on the lookout for the right script and director, with tentative plans to begin work on the next film by June 2026 if the right combination materialises.
Sources suggest that Mahesh Babu is fully aware of the massive legacy boost that a Rajamouli film brings and is keen to capitalise on that momentum by launching his next project on his own terms. Fans can expect a major announcement shortly after Varanasi hits the screens, marking an exciting new chapter in the superstar’s career.
