On Saturday evening, a much-awaited tweet came from the Telugu production house Mythri Movie Makers. The tweet had a photo of a tied scroll, wax-sealed and an ink pen on its side. It said that an official announcement about Mahesh Babu‘s 27th film will be made on Sunday, marking the actor’s father’s birthday, at 9.09 am. It also went on to reveal that the director of the film was Geetha Govindam fame Parasuram Petla.

Just as rumours had predicted, ‘SSMB27‘ is now Sarkaru Vaari Paata. It will be jointly bankrolled by Naveen Yerneni and Ravi Shankar Yalamanchili’s Mythri Movie Makers, the actor’s G Mahesh Babu Entertainment and Ram Achanta and Gopichand Achanta’s 14 Reels Plus. The film marks the second association of Mythri Movie Makers with Mahesh Babu and his GMB Entertainment after Srimanthudu, MMM’s first production.

The poster features the half-profile of Mahesh with a stubble, silver-studded ear and the tattoo of the one rupee coin on his neck. The title Sarkaru Vaari Paata also has the icon of an auction bell next to it.

Mahesh Babu took to Twitter to make the official announcement.

Sarkaru Vaari Paata will have music by Thaman, PS Vinod on the cinematography, Marthand K Venkatesh on the edit, and AS Prakash helming art.

Touted to be an action-drama much like his Dookudu and Sarileru Neekevvaru, the film will reportedly star Kiara Advani as the female lead, marking the second association of the lead pair after their 2018 political drama Bharat Ane Nenu. Although, no official announcement has been made regarding the same. The rest of the cast and crew members have also not been revealed yet.

Surprisingly, the initials of the last four films of the actor inclusive of Sarkaru Vaari Paata, form the acronym ‘SSMB’ – Bharat Ane Nenu, Maharshi, Sarileru Neekevvaru, and Sarkaru Vaari Paata. It is unknown if Mahesh has been picky with his titles or if this was sheer coincidence.
