The much-awaited collaboration between Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli has been one of the most talked-about projects in Indian cinema. Discussions around its market positioning and global projection have been ongoing for months.
Interestingly, while many cine enthusiasts are calling it a Rajamouli film given his global stature after RRR and Baahubali, Mahesh Babu fans hold a different opinion. They insist the film should be identified purely as a Mahesh Babu project.

Fans have even been vocal online, urging that Rajamouli himself acknowledge it as a Mahesh-led film. Despite being the biggest director in Indian cinema, Rajamouli seems to be in complete agreement with that sentiment.
Instead of promoting the film as a Rajamouli brand project, the ace filmmaker has consciously chosen to spotlight Mahesh Babu. Every bit of promotional content released so far including countdown clips shared by Karthikeya highlights Mahesh's presence and charisma.
For a director of Rajamouli's stature, it would have been easy to brand this as his own film and lead the promotions around his global reputation. But instead, he is humbly allowing Mahesh to take centre stage, respecting the star's fandom and emotional connect with audiences.
This gesture from Rajamouli has won hearts across fan bases, proving once again why he's not just a master storyteller but also a grounded collaborator who understands the pulse of cinema lovers.
