With more than 25 years of experience, all three have earned recognition for their distinctive storytelling and filmmaking styles. They are now in the spotlight with their upcoming big budget projects. Expectations are particularly high for Varanasi, the much-anticipated collaboration between Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu. Meanwhile, fans are eagerly looking forward to the reported project featuring Trivikram and Jr. NTR. There is also considerable discussion in film circles about a possible collaboration between Sukumar and Ram Charan.
