Varanasi makers celebrate Rudhra aka Mahesh Babu’s birthday with stills from Africa shoot, watchThe first still captures Rudhra at rest on a bamboo raft, surrounded by a dense jungle, effortlessly cool, magnetic and carrying the quiet intensity that defines his character. The second transports us to the sweeping plains of Kenya’s Maasai Mara, where Rudhra stands amidst giraffes and wildebeest looking back with an unmistakable sense of command. Director SS Rajamouli said, “Rudhra was born to fulfil a purpose much larger than himself. There were mornings when I felt even the 1.43:1 IMAX frame could not hold what was in front of us.”
