SSMB29 announcement on Mahesh Babu's 50th birthday?
While attending the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, Rajamouli revealed more details about the project: "My next film with Mahesh Babu will be a globetrotting action adventure. It's going to be a kind of James Bond or Indiana Jones film with Indian roots."
Since then, there has been no official update about this S.S. Rajamouli directorial jungle adventure film, which is generating more and more hype among audiences. Apart from a few fun Instagram conversations between Mahesh Babu and S.S. Rajamouli teasing fans about the duo's maiden collaboration, there has been no update to date. SSMB29 marks the 29th film for Superstar Mahesh Babu in a lead role.
The film also stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas as the female lead and Prithviraj Sukumaran in a key role. The film marks the first collaboration between Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra. Oscar-winner M.M. Keeravani is scoring the music for SSMB29, which will release in multiple Indian languages along with an international rollout.
With a rumoured budget of ₹1000 crore, the film produced by Narayana K.L. is set for a grand 2027 release. As per the latest report, the runtime is expected to be around 200 minutes, the longest for both Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu. The team has already wrapped up a schedule in Odisha, while major portions are yet to be shot in Hyderabad and Kenya.
The film was initially planned as a two-part project, but later reports from various sources confirmed that it would be released as a single-part film. A ₹50 crore ancient Kashi set is being built in Hyderabad for key scenes. Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra's introductory portions will be filmed in Kenya in July.
We have analysed the last decade's data in Mahesh Babu's filmography, and here's what we found:
- Guntur Kaaram - Highly Inflammable Mass Strike-May 31, 2023
- Sarkaru Vaari Paata Birthday Blaster - Aug 9, 2021
- Sarileru Neekevvaru THE INTRO - Aug 9, 2019
- #MeetRishi - Maharshi Teaser - Aug 9, 2018
- Bharat Ane Nenu Special Trailer - May 31, 2018
- SPYDER Telugu Teaser - Aug 9, 2017
- Srimanthudu Teaser -May 31, 2015
Barring Brahmotsavam, most of Mahesh Babu's film promotional material has been shared officially either on Mahesh Babu's birthday or on his father, Superstar Krishna's birthday on 31st May. Today is 28th June, which means it's almost the end of June, and nothing was shared on Superstar Krishna's birthday. So, there is a high expectation that we may get an announcement on Mahesh Babu's birthday on August 9 this year.
S.S. Rajamouli's birthday is on 10th October, which is another crucial event. So, if the makers do not share anything on Mahesh Babu's birthday, we may get something on S.S. Rajamouli's birthday. Everyone is eagerly awaiting an official update of the film from the makers.
