Acclaimed director SS Rajamouli recently dropped a video, which featured a lion captured behind the bars, and Rajamouli showing off a passport. Fans were quick to decode that it was him hinting at Mohan Babu’s involvement in his upcoming film, tentatively titled ‘SSMB29’.
Mahesh Babu took to the comment section of the post with a famous dialogue from his 2006 blockbuster, Pokiri. His comment read, “Okkasaari commit ayithe naa maata nene vinanu (Once I commit, I won’t even listen to myself).”
Later, Priyanka Chopra, Jonash, who reportedly have flown down to India to shoot the film, also commented down. She wrote, ‘Finally’, hinting that the movie has finally gone on the floors.
While fans are happy to get an update on this much-awaited project, many could not understand the reason why Rajamouli used Lion’s reference to hint at Mahesh Babu’s involvement in the project.

Why Mahesh Babu Is Called Lion
For the unversed, the south superstar dubbed for the Telugu version of Disney’s popular film The Lion King. His voice as Mufasa was loved by people, so much so, that they began to address him as the lion. Shah Rukh Khan voiced the Hindi version of Mufasa: The Lion King.
Several edits of Mahesh Babu as the lion went viral on social media later.
