If there is ever an Indian director who thinks of making a film with 1000 Crores budget even it is in his wildest dreams, it will be none other than SS Rajamouli. This is because of his strong conviction and desire to push Indian cinema towards bigger heights with each attempt and also due to his guts to make film with . With Baahubali and RRR, Rajamouli has turned the attention of global audiences towards Indian cinema.
Having already achieved several records, Rajamouli now wants to target a huge milestone with his next film with terms of budget. He has the habit of raising the budget exponentially for every film compared to the previous one. His last film RRR was the costliest film at that time. Later, biggies like Kalki 2898AD and Adipurush were made with nearly 500 Crores.
According to the latest reports, Rajamouli has decided to put a new benchmark in terms of budget with his next project which is touted to be a globe-trotting action adventure featuring Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu. SSMB29 is reportedly budgeted at 1000 Crores which is a record of sorts by a long chalk in the history of Indian cinema.
If Rajamouli projects 1000 Crores budget, there is strong chance for SSMB29 to be made as an international film targeting simultaneous release in foreign languages including English. A few Hollywood stars and renowned technicians across the globe are likely to be a part of this ambitious project. So, the remuneration alone might cost 500 crores budget. As it is going to be shot in different countries and massive sets, there is a possibility for the total making costs to cover the remaining 500 crores.
Sources revealed that SSMB29 is likely to made as a franchise. The regular filming will commence early next year.
