Earlier, we reported that Mahesh Babu's SSMB29 will be directed by SS Rajamouli. Billed as a globe-trotting action-adventure film, the latest buzz is that Mahesh's character is inspired by Hanuman's character. 

According to Pinkvilla, a source revealed that Rajamouli has a penchant for taking inspiration from epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata. And his film with Mahesh will also be rooted in Indian culture. Mahesh's character will reportedly have traits similar to Hanuman and the character trajectory will revolve around Ramayana with a spin. While Rajamouli's father Vijayendra Prasad is penning the story, the film is said to be made as a franchise.
