‘SSMB29’ is expected to be a globe-trotting adventure that showcases Mahesh Babu as an explorer navigating through various landscapes. The film is set against the backdrop of the Amazon rainforest and will delve into themes of adventure and action, promising thrilling sequences for audiences. While specific details about Priyanka’s role remain under wraps, it is rumoured that her character will feature strong action elements, making it a significant comeback for the actress after her last Indian film ‘The White Tiger’ released on OTT and was last seen in theatres in ‘The Sky Is Pink’.
This project has hyped fans since its announcement as it marks the first project together between Telugu cinema giants Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli. The film aims to reach a global audience, with reports suggesting that international actors may also be involved. Notably, Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran is confirmed and is expected to play the antagonist.
Production for ‘SSMB29’ is set to begin in April 2025, with filming locations planned in India, the US, and Africa. The movie is expected to be released in two parts, with an ambitious budget estimated between Rs 900-1000 crores. Given Rajamouli’s track record of creating cinematic masterpieces like ‘Baahubali’ and ‘RRR’, expectations are high for this project.
