The highly anticipated collaboration between visionary director SS Rajamouli and superstar Mahesh Babu, tentatively titled SSMB29, is generating immense buzz. This global action-adventure film has been shrouded in mystery, with its makers maintaining strict secrecy despite months of shooting across various international locations. Fans have eagerly awaited any official updates, and it seems their patience is about to be rewarded.
Excitement is building around a massive film reveal event reportedly slated for November 15 in Hyderabad. Industry insiders suggest this could be one of India’s most significant cinematic unveilings, promising the first glimpse of the project, often referred to by its working title, SSMB29. This event is expected to finally pull back the curtain on the scale and ambition of the Rajamouli Mahesh Babu venture.
Adding fuel to the speculative fire, Mahesh Babu recently initiated a playful Twitter banter that sent fans into a frenzy. On November 1, the actor tagged SS Rajamouli, playfully asking, “It’s November already @ssrajamouli 👀.” Rajamouli’s cryptic replies hinted at slow, gradual reveals, intensifying the curiosity surrounding SSMB29.
The conversation quickly escalated, unexpectedly drawing in global icon Priyanka Chopra and Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran. Priyanka Chopra’s witty response, “Helloooo!! hero!!! You want me to leak all the stories you share with me on set? Mind lo fix aithe blind ga esestha.. 👊🏻”, strongly suggests her involvement. Mahesh Babu then teasingly questioned Rajamouli, “You mean to say, @PrithviOfficial is also a surprise?”, seemingly confirming Prithviraj Sukumaran’s role in SSMB29.
Rajamouli’s feigned anger and a humorous threat to delay Mahesh Babu’s first look only added to the lighthearted exchange. This captivating online interaction delighted fans, offering tantalizing hints about the SSMB29 cast. It strongly suggests that both Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran are part of this epic project, with speculation mounting that Prithviraj might portray the antagonist.
While official character first-look posters for these stars are eagerly anticipated, followed by Mahesh Babu’s grand reveal, the excitement surrounding SSMB29 is palpable. Reports also hint that “Varanasi” could be the final title for this highly ambitious production. Produced by KL Narayana under Durga Arts, with music by MM Keeravani, the film is set for a monumental worldwide release across 120 countries on March 25, 2027.
