Mahesh Babu and Trivikram Srinivas are gearing up for the release of SSMB28 on January 13 next year. The Sarkaru Vaari Paata star tweeted the date with an assertive phrase: Save the date, he wrote.

Releasing a stylish poster in which the hero is seen walking with swag, the makers described Mahesh Babu as a Reigning Superstar. The beard, the modish clothing and the cigarette enhance the style quotient.

This is expected to become the biggest Sankranti release for the actor, whose Okkadu, Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu and Sarileru Neekevvaru were also Sankranti releases.

The fight masters, Ram and Laxman, have been working on the biggie. The film, starring Pooja Hegde and Sree Leela as heroines, has got music by SS Thaman.

The cinematography is by PS Vinod. AS Prakash and Navin Nooli are taking care of production design and editing, respectively.
