It is well known that director S.S. Rajamouli typically takes several years to craft each of his films, and his ongoing project with Mahesh Babu is expected to follow the same pattern. However, an interesting trend has emerged recently: Mahesh Babu is appearing on the big screen with surprising frequency.
In recent months, several of Mahesh Babu’s cult films have been re-released in theaters, often within just a few months of each other. A recent example is the re-release of Khaleja. Adding to this, the iconic film Athadu is set for a theatrical re-release on August 9, coinciding with Mahesh Babu’s birthday. This growing pattern highlights how the star continues to maintain a strong presence in cinemas through these re-releases.
While this is certainly a moment of celebration for Mahesh Babu’s fans—who cherish his diverse and extensive filmography—it may not align perfectly with Rajamouli’s strategic approach to film releases. Typically, Rajamouli relies on creating a sense of anticipation and rarity around his heroes by maintaining a significant gap between their appearances on the big screen. This carefully crafted void builds curiosity and excitement about his forthcoming projects.
With Mahesh Babu’s frequent theatrical appearances, that intended “void” is gradually diminishing. This might not have been part of Rajamouli’s original plan, as the repeated presence of the star on screens could lessen the unique impact of their upcoming collaboration.
Ultimately, there is no definitive right or wrong here—fans have every reason to celebrate Mahesh Babu’s enduring appeal. Still, it is likely that Rajamouli hopes the year 2026 will see no further re-releases of Mahesh’s films, allowing for a renewed sense of anticipation to build ahead of their much-awaited new venture.
