Rajamouli’s Global Epic With Mahesh Babu Hits Pause For Script Rework

Mahesh Babu and director Rajamouli have teamed up for a grand international action-adventure, currently titled #SSMB29. Filming began in January with important scenes shot across Hyderabad, Odisha and other locations.

However the next schedule, originally planned in Kenya, has been paused due to political unrest. The team is now considering Tanzania as a possible alternative.

During this break Rajamouli is revising the script and technical crew. So far action sequences, a song, and key scenes featuring Mahesh, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran have been completed.

The upcoming portions include intense emotional and high-stakes adventure scenes. To enhance the script, Deva Katta may be brought in to polish the dialogues.

The second half of the film will explore a mythological and spiritual layer, aiming for a deeper global appeal. With cutting-edge VFX, Rajamouli is crafting this film to match Hollywood standards.
