While details about the plot remain scarce, Rajamouli and his father, writer Vijayendra Prasad, have teased fans by describing the film as an action-packed adventure drama, drawing comparisons to the popular Indiana Jones franchise. A location recce for the film has already taken place in Kenya, confirming that portions of the movie will be shot there.

One of the most talked-about aspects of the project has been the rumours swirling around the potential involvement of Priyanka Chopra as the leading lady. 

In a special screening of RRR in Japan, SS Rajamouli expressed his excitement about introducing Mahesh Babu to a wider global audience. He described Mahesh as “very handsome” and shared his hopes that once filming wraps up, he would be able to bring Mahesh Babu to international shores for the film’s release.

“His name is Mahesh Babu, he is a Telugu actor. He is very handsome. Hopefully, we finish the film a little bit fast, and during the release, I will bring him here and introduce him to you. I’m sure you will love him as well,” Rajamouli said, hinting at the international appeal of the collaboration.

Now only fans are excitedly waiting for the official announcement of Priyanka Chopra joining the film.
