Netflix has dropped the documentary on RRR, and netizens are once again in awe of SS Rajamouli’s dedication and perfection. His next project, tentatively titled SSMB29, features Superstar Mahesh Babu and is set to be a globetrotting adventure in the African forests.
Recent reports from Pinkvilla suggest that National Award-winning actress Priyanka Chopra has been cast as the female lead. The filmmaker reportedly wanted someone with global appeal, and Priyanka was his top choice. After multiple discussions, the actress has given her nod to the role, which promises a strong character with action-packed sequences.
Interestingly, SSMB29 marks Priyanka’s return to Indian cinema after six years. She has already begun prepping, and the film is expected to go on floors in April 2025.
Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran is rumored to play the antagonist, while Mahesh Babu’s character is said to have shades of Lord Hanuman. Produced by KL Narayana under Durga Arts, the film will feature music by Oscar-winner MM Keeravani. An official announcement about the cast and crew is awaited.
