Mahesh reportedly thought that he would be unnecessarily imprisoning himself for two years at this pivotal stage in his career when people like megastar chiranjeevi are releasing nearly two movies a year and having 4-5 films in the pipeline at the same time. rajamouli will undoubtedly concentrate on creating a global film this time rather than a modest film given his meteoric rise to prominence around the world with RRR. All of his leading performers need to devote enough time to the film for that to happen. How then will Mahesh behave?
It has come to light that Mahesh asked rajamouli not to give him a unique look for the movie so that he could do other tasks first. Mahesh is reported to have stated that if the director chooses big performers, there would inevitably be scheduling conflicts. This is because rajamouli intended to cast another large multi-starrer. In order for the entire project to be structured around Mahesh's availability, he only wanted free actors to join on with the movie.
Will Mahesh be able to work on this movie with rajamouli at all given these circumstances? Fans believe that their Superstar should devote three years if necessary, since they believe that making a rajamouli film is preferable to making movies like Sarkaruvari Paata and Sarileru Neekevvaru, even if it takes 3–4 years.
