That the combination of Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu would happen soon is known to everyone. There was no confusion at all. Rajamouli had made it clear several times that he would launch Mahesh Babu’s movie as soon as he wraps up ‘RRR’. He just reconfirmed it while speaking to a news channel during this quarantine period.

At the beginning of his career, Rajamouli had taken an advance amount of remuneration from two producers - Danayya and KL Narayana. Right after the release of ‘Baahubali 2’, he said he would honor these commitments first before taking up any new projects. Thus he began ‘RRR’. 

Now that the film is nearing its completion, he has now announced the KL Narayana project. The basic storyline is said to have already been prepared by Rajamouli’s father. The film will officially be announced next year and it will hit the floors in 2022.
