SSMB29 screenwriter reveals when the shoot for Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli film will begin

Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu and acclaimed filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s most ambitious project, SSMB29, is swiftly progressing, and the latest update from screenwriter and SS Rajamouli’s father, Vijayendra Prasad, has fans beaming with joy!

Writer Vijayendra Prasad was recently part of a program called 'Masterclass by Mr. Vijayendra Prasad'. When a media person asked for an update on the Mahesh Babu-SS Rajamouli film SSMB29, the writer said that the shoot will commence in January 2025.

Fans have been rejoicing over the new update from the writer, and the video has been circulating widely across all social media platforms. Take a look!

Vijayendra Prasad had earlier revealed that SSMB29 will borrow elements from the Hindu epic Ramayana. Mahesh Babu's character is said to share qualities with Lord Hanuman, particularly his ability to endure challenging conditions in the forest. The scriptwriter Prasad also described the film as a globe-trotting action-adventure filled with emotions, drawing comparisons to Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark. Additionally, the writer hinted that the movie would feature an open-ended climax, leaving room for a potential sequel.

Mahesh Babu’s new look piques fans' excitement

Mahesh Babu, who is gearing up for his highly anticipated jungle adventure film, has been spotted in public quite often lately, sporting a new hair and beard look. His appearance in the movie has generated excitement among fans. However, some fans are concerned about frequently seeing him in this style in public places, like at the airport, and wish he had kept his appearance under wraps to heighten the buzz and anticipation for the film.

Reports also suggest that Telugu star Nagarjuna and Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran will be part of the film. However, an official update on this is still awaited. Slated to be made in multiple languages, SSMB29 marks the maiden collaboration between the Telugu superstar and acclaimed filmmaker SS Rajamouli.
