In a way, it is good that Mahesh Babu's next film with Rajamouli is finalized. Otherwise, given the disaster he experienced with 'Guntur Kaaram,' it would have been difficult for him to decide with whom to sign his next project and what kind of story would be better suited for him.
However, what is challenging for Mahesh Babu is that he has to live with the flop image accumulated by 'Guntur Kaaram' for the next three years. This is because it is unknown when Rajamouli's film with him will see the light.
On the other hand, the upcoming film appears to be an experiment by Rajamouli on a larger scale, which may prove risky if something unwanted happens.
All in all, Mahesh Babu's last significant hit is 'Bharat Ane Nenu,' and his subsequent films, 'Maharshi', 'Sarileru Neekevvaru' and 'Sarkaru Vari Paata,' were decent treats but not blockbusters.
All hopes are now pinned on Rajamouli's film, waiting for another three years from now.
