KV Vijayendra Prasad refutes reports of Mahesh Babu playing character based on Hanuman in SS Rajamouli’s next

An enterprising portal has now come up with a story that Mahesh Babu plays a character based on Hanuman in Rajamouli’s next project to be shot in the jungles in various parts of the world.

But when this writer reached out to Rajamouli’s father KV Vijayendra Prasad, who is the writer of the Mahesh Babu project, he denied any such ‘mythologization’ of Mahesh Babu’s character. “No, his character is not based on Lord Hanuman, or any mythological character,” said Vijayendra Prasad.

A source close to the project added, “Only Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli have been decided. Any other addition to the cast or crew you read about is manufactured. Mahesh Babu plays a contemporary character in a the fast-paced jungle adventure.”
