Mahesh Babu's next with Trivikram Srinivas is set to go on floors. The makers are planning to launch the film on September 8 in a specially constructed set in Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad. Tentatively titled SSMB 28, the film marks the third collaboration of Mahesh and Trivikram after Athadu (2005) and Khaleja (2010).

Latest buzz is that Malayalam actor Roshan Mathew will be playing an important role in SSMB 28. If it turns out to be true, this will mark Roshan's debut in Telugu. The actor, who started off in Malayalam, is now foraying into other languages. Last month, he was seen in the Hindi film Darlings alongside Alia Bhatt and Shefali Shah. Roshan's Tamil debut Cobra hit screens only last Wednesday.

Produced by Suryadevara Radha Krishna (China Babu), SSMB 28 features Pooja Hegde as the female lead. The film, which has music by S Thaman, is set to hit screens on April 28, 2023.
