Superstar Mahesh Babu's SSMB28, directed by filmmaker Trivikram, is undoubtedly one of the most keenly awaited actor-director collaborations among audiences.

A special poster, confirming the news, features Mahesh Babu in a brand-new stylish avatar, where he sports a beard and a thin moustache, donning a black shirt and blue jeans, while smoking a cigarette in front of a lorry.

A series of red chillies are flying mid air as Mahesh Babu arrives and a few men look up to him. The Super Star is at his massy best in the poster. Some of Mahesh Babu’s best films - Okkadu, Sarileru Neekevvaru, Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu - released for Sankranthi and the unit promises another memorable outing that has all the makings of a blockbuster and will please his fans. The team is believed to be thrilled with the way the film has been shaping up.
