Zillions
of
fans
and
followers
of
Mahesh
Babu
are
super
excited
with
the
latest
update
of
their
idol's
next
with
renowned
director
Trivikram
Srinivas.
Tentatively
titled
#SSMB28,
the
film
was
announced
on
May
1.
Well,
with
many
speculating
the
title
and
theme
of
the
film
ever
since
the
announcement,
the
latest
report
suggests
that
#SSMB28
has
been
titled
Pardhu.
Though
the
makers
are
yet
to
confirm
the
title,
a
few
reports
also
state
that
Pardhu
is
only
a
working
title,
and
the
team
might
change
it
once
they
come
with
something
riveting.
For
the
unversed,
the
name
is
inspired
by
Mahesh
Babu's
character
Nanda
Gopal
aka
Pardhu
from
the
2005
film
Athadu,
which
was
also
helmed
by
Trivikram.
Notably,
the
film
will
mark
the
director's
third
collaboration
with
the
Superstar
after
Athadu
and
Khaleja
(2010).
Talking
about
#SSMB28,
it
is
said
that
Mahesh
will
be
playing
a
RAW
agent
in
the
film.
Though
there
is
no
confirmation
regarding
the
female
lead,
rumours
have
it
that
Pooja
Hegde
has
been
approached
to
play
a
promising
role
in
the
highly
anticipated
film.
Reportedly,
director
Venky
Kudumula
has
been
roped
in
to
provide
creative
ideas
for
the
project,
especially
during
the
scripting
and
shooting
process.
On
a
related
note,
#SSMB28
backed
by
S
Radhakrishna
under
Haarika
and
Hassine
Creations
will
go
on
floors
after
Mahesh
completes
his
current
project,
Sarkaru
Vaari
Paata
with
Parasuram.
Currently,
the
film's
shooting
has
been
halted
owing
to
the
surge
in
COVID-19
cases
across
India.
Also
starring
Keerthy
Suresh,
Sarkaru
Vaari
Paata
is
slated
to
release
on
the
occasion
of
Sankranti
2022.
