SSMB29, the highly anticipated collaboration between director SS Rajamouli and superstar Mahesh Babu, is set to redefine the scale of Indian cinema. With an unprecedented budget of 1200 crore, the film is planned as a two-part franchise and will be released in around 120 countries, placing it firmly on par with major Hollywood productions. The film promises a grand, globe-trotting narrative blending mythology and action, with Mahesh Babu playing a character surrounded by deep spiritual and symbolic undertones.
Recently, a cryptic poster released on Mahesh Babu’s birthday, featuring a trishul, a bull-shaped pendant, and blood markings, gave audiences a hint of the mythological backdrop, sparking speculation about a connection to Lord Shiva. The visual was tagged #Globetrotter, reinforcing the film’s adventurous, international scale. After completing important schedules in Hyderabad and Odisha, producer KL Narayana confirmed that the next leg of the shoot will begin in the third week of September, taking the team to Nairobi and Tanzania for key action sequences. With music by MM Keeravani and writing by Vijayendra Prasad, SSMB29 is shaping up to be a cinematic event of historic proportions.
