When Nick Jonas asked him about the film, he said: “I’ve been working on it for about 14 months. But SS Rajamouli is known to spend that much time making films. He called me for this film, and it’s this epic adventure around the world and through time. It’s taken a minute, but I’m really excited about it. I do so many incredible jumps in slow motion, and that’s all I can say about that.” His statement quickly garnered attention, with fans eager to see the high-energy action sequences he hinted at.
