Director Buchi Babu is keen to work with Superstar Mahesh Babu after his upcoming film Peddi. According to industry sources, the filmmaker has two complete scripts ready, both specifically written with the superstar in mind, and both are said to be large-scale projects.
Banking on Peddi’s Success
With Uppena and now Peddi, Buchi Babu has created strong expectations around himself as a director. The emotional drama Uppena marked a successful debut, establishing him as a promising filmmaker in Telugu cinema. If Peddi turns out to be a major success, he is expected to become one of the most sought-after directors in the industry.
Buchi Babu is placing huge hopes on Peddi and is highly confident about its success. After the film’s release, he reportedly plans to meet Mahesh Babu and narrate the two story ideas. Sources suggest both projects are designed as pan-India ventures with significant production values.
Perfect Timing for Collaboration
Mahesh Babu is currently busy with his film directed by S. S. Rajamouli. The Rajamouli-Mahesh collaboration has generated massive anticipation across the country. Beyond that project, Mahesh has not officially committed to any other film.
If Peddi becomes a big hit and Buchi Babu manages to impress Mahesh with his scripts, the timelines could align perfectly for an immediate collaboration. Since Mahesh Babu is expected to begin work on his next project only after completing and releasing the Rajamouli film, Buchi Babu would have enough time to focus on pre-production.
The combination of Buchi Babu with Mahesh Babu could bring together strong storytelling with star power. It will be interesting to see how things unfold after the release of Peddi.
