If the project materialises, the combination of Mahesh Babu and Bhansali could certainly be an interesting one, especially considering the filmmaker’s signature grand visuals and period storytelling.

However, there is an important factor to consider. Mahesh Babu is currently busy with SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated pan-world project Varanasi. The actor is expected to remain occupied with the film for a considerable period, and his next project is likely to be decided only after his commitments to Rajamouli’s film become clearer.

So, has Mahesh Babu actually liked Bhansali’s story? Will the actor team up with the filmmaker after Varanasi? For now, there is no official confirmation about the reported collaboration, and fans may have to wait for more clarity.
