Director Buchi Babu Keeps Mahesh Babu Speculation Alive, Says Time Will Decide

Director Buchi Babu Sana has responded to the growing speculation surrounding his next project with Mahesh Babu. Speaking at a promotional event for Peddi on Sunday, the filmmaker addressed the rumours without directly confirming the collaboration. He said that such decisions would ultimately be taken by the producers and that time would determine what his next project would be. His comments neither confirmed nor denied the reports, leaving enough room for further speculation.

Mythological touch is oncoming?

Adding to the intrigue, the Tollywood filmmaker recently hinted in an interview that his next project could have mythological elements. This has intensified the speculation, especially since Mahesh Babu is currently working on Varanasi, a film directed by SS Rajamouli that is reportedly rooted in mythological themes.

Buchi Babu has carved a distinct identity with films like Uppena and Peddi. His stories often explore intense emotions, personal struggles, and layered relationships. He is known for creating grounded characters and dramatic conflicts that resonate with a wide audience. His films strike a balance between commercial appeal and emotional depth, often touching upon themes of sacrifice, resilience, and spiritual love. Before turning director, he worked in the writing department for Sukumar’s films, including Mahesh Babu’s 1: Nenokkadine.

All attention on Rajamouli’s Varanasi

For now, however, Mahesh Babu remains fully occupied with SS Rajamouli’s directorial venture, Varanasi. The ambitious globetrotting action-adventure demands his complete attention. In fact, Mahesh has not signed any new film over the last three years apart from Trivikram Srinivas’ Guntur Kaaram. Industry circles believe he is unlikely to commit to another project until substantial progress is made on Varanasi.

The film is among the most anticipated projects in Indian cinema and is scheduled to release in theatres on April 7 next year. Until then, all eyes remain firmly on Mahesh Babu’s ongoing collaboration with Rajamouli.
