According to reports, Rajamouli's new project is still in the writing stage, and the team is aiming to start filming by the end of this year. The film is expected to be one of the most expensive movies ever made in Indian cinema and will be extensively shot in the Amazon forest.
While the film is an African jungle adventure, the character played by Mahesh Babu is said to have traits similar to Lord Hanuman, who is known for his courage and his fight against all odds in the jungles. The trajectory of the character will follow the route of Ramayana, but with a spin given by Rajamouli, according to a source close to the development.
The source further added that both Disney and Sony Pictures are in a race to secure the rights for the film. Both studios have reportedly promised world-class technical support to Rajamouli for the movie.
