<p>Earlier in January, Mahesh Babu revealed how a particular scene in <em>Guntur Kaaram</em> - where he was required to smoke - caused him headaches and migraine. During a conversation with actress and host Suma Kanakala, Mahesh shared, "I don't smoke and I don't encourage smoking as well. It was an ayurvedic beedi that was made of clove leaves. Initially, they gave me a real beedi, and I ended up with a migraine and headache. I went and told Trivikram garu [Srinivas] that I cannot do this and we were wondering how to go about it. Then he did his research and the team got me this ayurvedic beedi. It was made of clove leaves and had a mint flavour. There was no tobacco in it.”&nbsp;<br />

The Telugu superstar will be seen in a project directed by SS Rajamouli. During his recent trip to Japan, the filmmaker shared the update and revealed, “We started my next film. We completed the writing. We are in the pre-production process. We are doing all the pre-visualisation for the film. But we haven't finished the casting yet. Only the main hero, the protagonist of the film is locked. His name is Mahesh Babu. He is a Telugu actor.”&nbsp;</p>
