After months of speculation surrounding his launch project, a fresh report doing the rounds in industry circles suggests that director Mallidi Vassishta may helm Mokshagna’s first film. Vassishta, who has earned attention for ambitious projects such as Bimbisara and Vishwambhara, is reportedly said to have narrated a story that impressed the Nandamuri camp."},{"text":"According to the latest buzz, the script is believed to have been designed around Mokshagna’s personality, screen presence and potential as a newcomer. The story reportedly struck the right chord with Balakrishna, who is said to have given his approval after carefully considering the project. Mokshagna was earlier widely linked to a proposed launch under director Prasanth Varma, but that project eventually failed to take off. Following that setback, Balakrishna is reportedly being particularly cautious about choosing the right story, filmmaker and overall launch strategy for his son, given the enormous expectations surrounding the Nandamuri heir."},{"text":"If the latest reports prove accurate, an official announcement could arrive soon, with the makers said to be considering a grand launch around the Vijayadashami festival. A formal pooja ceremony during Dasara could mark the beginning of what is expected to be one of Tollywood’s most closely watched debuts. With the Nandamuri legacy behind him, expectations are already running high among fans, who are eager to see whether Mokshagna can create a strong impact on the big screen. However, until Balakrishna, Mokshagna or the production team officially confirms the project, the reports remain unverified industry speculation."}]}}},"relatedArticles":{"edges":[{"node":{"uid":"why-rgvs-next-titled-as-police-company","data":{"third_party_url":null,"title":{"text":"Why RGV's next titled as 'Police
