Okkadu, one of the highest-grossing Telugu movies ever, directed by Mahesh Babu, was re-released yesterday in a few key theatres both domestically and abroad. Yesterday, Rajahmundry theatres were packed, and MB supporters were seen celebrating the movie like a festival. Videos of Mahesh Babu's fans going crazy during the movie's entrance sequence have surfaced on social media.
In honor of the actor's birthday, which is on August 9, director-producer MS Raju recently announced that special fan shows for Okkadu will be presented in theatres. When Okkadu was launched in 2003, it broke a lot of records. The romantic-action movie, which was directed by Gunasehkar, was remade in Tamil with Ilayathalapathy Vijay playing the major role. The remade version was also a big success.
In this Mahesh Babu-starring film, Ajay Varma, a Kabaddi player, travels to Kurnool for a state-level competition in order to save Swapna, played by Bhumika Chawla, from being compelled to wed a vicious factionist.
Mahesh Babu has taken a considerable break since the release of Sarkaru Vaari Paata and is spending sufficient time with his family. The celebrity will shortly begin filming his upcoming project, which has the working title "SSMB 28." The movie will premiere in theatres in the 2023 summer. Pooja Hegde plays the female protagonist in the upcoming action drama, which is directed by Trivikram Srinivas.
Along with renowned director SS Rajamouli, MB will make a significant pan-Indian debut. The film's creators are considering the possibility of casting Mahesh Babu in an African jungle adventure. Mahesh Babu said in an interview, "SS Rajamouli and I have been trying to work together for a long time, and it's finally happening. There are multiple ideas being discussed, and we have not zeroed in on anything. It's too early to speak about the film, but it's a dream come true for me. I am really excited about the film."
