Mahesh Babu expressed his emotions by writing, "Today is all the more special! This one's for you, Nanna." SSMB28 marks the long-awaited reunion of Mahesh Babu and director Trivikram Srinivas after a gap of 12 years. Their previous collaborations, "Athadu" and "Khaleja," were blockbuster hits, creating immense excitement among fans for their third venture. The film features Pooja Hegde as the female lead and S Thaman as the music composer.

Coinciding with Krishna's birthday celebration, one of his blockbuster films, "Mosagallaku Mosagadu," has been re-released in theatres. Originally released on August 27, 1971, "Mosagallaku Mosagadu" became a tremendous success in the Telugu film industry, running for 100 days in theatres. Notably, it was the first-ever cowboy film in India and initiated the trend of pan-Indian and global appeal for Telugu cinema. Krishna's contribution to the film industry is being commemorated through this re-release, allowing fans to relish the classic again in 4K format.

Mahesh Babu's gesture of dedicating the SSMB28 poster release to his father on Krishna's birthday showcases his deep respect and love for his late father. It also highlights the excitement surrounding his upcoming collaboration with Trivikram Srinivas and the anticipation for the film's release.
