SSMB29, What Rajamouli is hiding?

The upcoming film SSMB29, starring Mahesh Babu and directed by S. S. Rajamouli, is undoubtedly one of the most awaited projects of 2025. Following the global success of RRR, Rajamouli’s next film has captured the imagination of fans not just of Mahesh Babu but also of cinema lovers around the world.

There have been widespread reports suggesting that Priyanka Chopra will play the female lead, with Prithviraj Sukumaran rumored to be cast as the antagonist. However, the film’s team has not yet confirmed these details, leaving fans eagerly awaiting official announcements.

The pooja ceremony for the film took place yesterday at the Aluminum Factory in Hyderabad. The event was kept low-key, with a limited guest list and no media invited. It’s been a day since the ceremony, but no photos or official updates have been released, which has sparked curiosity among fans and the media. In fact, Mahesh Babu, who is known for not attending pooja ceremonies, broke his usual practice and participated in the event this time. Despite this, the team has yet to release any images from the ceremony.

In contrast, for RRR, the pooja ceremony included press access. However, for SSMB29, the absence of media coverage suggests that the team might be holding back on revealing certain details—most notably, Mahesh Babu’s look in the film, which Rajamouli may want to keep under wraps for now.

Rajamouli is expected to begin shooting for the film by the end of this month, and reports suggest that SSMB29 will be a jungle adventure film. Given Rajamouli’s global stature following RRR, there’s anticipation that this project will be crafted to appeal to a worldwide audience.

As more details emerge, fans are sure to stay on edge, eagerly awaiting every new update on what promises to be one of the biggest films of 2025.
