The buzz for SSMB29, the next magnum opus with Superstar Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli at the helm, is hitting new heights. Already in pre-production, the massive project is already making ripples in the industry. With the international success of Baahubali and RRR, Rajamouli is ready to push the boundaries of cinema once again—this time, with a ₹1000 crore adventure drama on a scale never imagined before in Indian cinema.
Proudly described as a Hollywood-esque action-adventure movie, SSMB29 is grounded on a new, cutting-edge idea that brings together heart-wrenching emotion, spine-tingling action, and breath-taking graphics. The narrative will be planned around the scenery of thick woods, providing the ideal backdrop for gripping scenes and richly visual storytelling.
For Mahesh Babu, this is a major departure—his first outright action-thriller on an international level. Sources indicate that his role has been designed with deep emotional depth and heroic intensity. The actor is also going through intensive physical training to play the challenging role.
Adding to the buzz is an intriguing rumor: the inclusion of dinosaurs in the narrative. Several high-octane sequences are believed to revolve around these creatures, including adrenaline-pumping chase scenes and epic survival showdowns. This has led to speculation that the film might feature elements of sci-fi, time travel, or even fantasy transformations—a first for Indian cinema at this scale. With a substantial chunk of the budget allocated to VFX and CGI, expectations are sky-high for visual excellence on par with international blockbusters.
Though the team hasn’t officially confirmed these story details, industry insiders suggest the film is shaping up to be a landmark cinematic experience. Reports also hint that Priyanka Chopra is in talks for the female lead, while Prithviraj Sukumaran is likely to portray the primary antagonist. A powerful father-son emotional thread is also expected to be a central element, with a well-known actor rumored to play Mahesh Babu’s father—his name being kept under wraps as a surprise for fans.
Backed by KL Narayana under his banner and featuring a soul-stirring musical score from MM Keeravani, SSMB29 is not just a film—it’s a cinematic event in the making. With Rajamouli at the helm and Mahesh Babu leading the charge, this action-packed adventure is poised to take Indian storytelling to the global stage.
