After a brief break, ace director SS Rajamouli has resumed work on his much-awaited adventurous drama, tentatively titled SSMB29. Starring Mahesh Babu, the film is expected to be a groundbreaking cinematic experience. According to reports, Bollywood and Hollywood actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas will play a significant role in this film.
Writer Vijayendra Prasad revealed that SSMB29 will introduce audiences to a new world never seen before in Indian cinema. Set against the backdrop of the Amazon jungle, the film will feature foreign actors and be dubbed into several Indian and international languages. Mahesh Babu is undergoing extensive preparation to play this career-defining role.
Rajamouli’s Secret Location in Andhra Pradesh
Rajamouli is known for selecting iconic and unique locations, and SSMB29 is no exception. The director and his team have reportedly explored the Borra Caves, a breathtaking natural wonder near Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. Famous for its intricate stalactites and stalagmites, this popular tourist destination is set to become a pivotal setting for key scenes in the film. Rajamouli had previously shot parts of RRR here, but for SSMB29, he aims to highlight new, unexplored angles of the caves, making them an integral part of the story’s narrative.
This decision has sparked excitement, as the Borra Caves, with their dramatic lighting and mysterious ambiance, perfectly suit the adventurous tone of the film. The director’s eye for detail ensures that these scenes will leave a lasting impression on viewers.
Location Scouting Across the Globe
In addition to the Borra Caves, Rajamouli has been scouting locations worldwide. A few months ago, he shared images from Amboseli National Park in Kenya, hinting at significant filming in Africa. He also explored Odisha’s Koraput district, visiting stunning areas like Deomali and Kolab Dam, known for their raw beauty and cinematic appeal. His extensive travel reflects his dedication to making SSMB29 a visual masterpiece.
Extensive Pre-Production Work Underway
The pre-production of SSMB29 is progressing rapidly. Rajamouli’s team is conducting detailed research and planning for this ambitious, big-budget project. The film is scheduled to begin shooting in summer 2025 and is expected to release worldwide in 2027.
Priyanka Chopra Joins the Cast
Reports suggest that Priyanka Chopra has been approached for a key role in the film, and she has expressed interest in the project. Her addition brings global appeal and raises expectations further.
