If audiences felt ‘Why Katappa killed Baahubali’ was the question that the Baahubali makers would be asked the most, then they were wrong. Soon after SS Rajamouli’s magnus opus Baahubali 2: The Conclusion released to great success, people started speculating about ‘what next’ — “What will be Prabhas’ next?”, “What will Rajamouli helm next?” While Prabhas satiated their curiosity by announcing Saaho, the buzz around Rajamouli continued for a while, until now.

to a report by Variety
, Rajamouli has confirmed what his upcoming projects will be. He will
reportedly work
with Telugu superstar and SPYder actor Mahesh Babu in a film with producer KL Narayana. The film is yet to be titled and is expected to go on the floors in 2019. The other film he alluded to is with producer DVV Danayya; Rajamouli will work on this project first and will be his first since Baahubali 2’s release. The Danayya film is touted to be social drama. “I don’t know which language it is going to be in and who is going to be in the cast, yet. I have committed to Danayya and that will be my next,” Rajamouli told Variety in an interview during the Busan Film Festival where his Baahubali films are being premiered in the Window on Asian Cinema strand. Danayya, known to back films like Desamuduru, Julayi, Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu and Naayak, is also currently producing Babu’s upcoming Telugu film, Bharat Ane Nenu also starring Kiara Advani.
