Vikram reacts to speculations about being part of SS Rajamouli-Mahesh Babu project: ‘We have been talking about doing a film’

Without giving too much information, but just enough to keep the rumour mills spinning, Vikram said, “Rajamouli garu is a good friend. We have been talking for a while now. Of course, we will be doing a film sometime, but we haven’t zeroed in on any specifics.” Meanwhile, there have also been reports that Prithviraj Sukumaran is in talks to star as the primary antagonist in this project. With both the leads of Mani Ratnam’s Raavanan reportedly in contention for the role, the wait to see who would be part of Rajamouli’s next just got even more interesting. Aamir Khan’s name was also thrown into the mix, but there have been no official updates from the team so far.

Backed by KL Narayana, SSMB 29 is pegged to be one of the most expensive Indian films, and is expected to go on floors this year. The project will be shot across the globe, and will be written by Rajamouli’s father and veteran script writer Vijayendra Prasad.
