Mahesh Babu flies to Georgia

As reported by Deccan Chronicle, the Georgia schedule will mainly focus on major action sequences between the hero and the villain.

The team is expected to shoot in Georgia for around 12 to 14 days, and this long schedule shows how important these scenes are for the film’s story.

While Priyanka Chopra plays the female lead, reports suggest she may not be part of this leg due to her current commitments for The Bluff. In the film, Mahesh Babu is expected to play a powerful character named Rudhra, with some buzz hinting at a dual-layered role. Prithviraj’s character Kumbha is said to be intense and unique, as he will appear in a wheelchair.
