The much-vaunted dream combination of SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu is happening. While Rajamouli has always talked about the project in the sort of language he has talked about 'Mahabharatham', it was always an unspecified future date at best and a mere wish at worst.

But it's no longer the same. Because Superstar Mahesh Babu himself has spoken of the specifics. As per the 'SPYder' sensation, the film will happen in the last leg of 2018.

After 'Bharat Ane Nenu', which could go on until January or beyond (as per some early indications, the film won't be hitting the screens the coming Sankranthi), Mahesh will work on Vamshi Paidipally's movie. It's only after these two projects that he will move on to Rajamouli's film, it seems.

One thing is now for sure. If 'SPYder' is a bi-lingual, the Rajamouli film could well be a multi-lingual (including the dubbed versions). In which case, Mahesh is set to gain a pan-Indian popularity. Can't wait for year 2020!
