Mahesh Babu’s highly anticipated collaboration with ace director SS Rajamouli in SSMB29 is turning out to be nothing short of cinematic history in the making. According to a recent report by Great Andhra, the film will feature a colossal action sequence involving over 3,000 people, making it one of the most extravagant and ambitious scenes ever shot in Indian cinema.
Reportedly, the breathtaking action sequence is set to take place on a boat, complete with elements of fire and water, promising high-intensity visuals and large-scale chaos. While this specific shoot is said to be scheduled for May or June in Hyderabad, the makers have not yet issued an official confirmation. Actors Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Prithviraj Sukumaran are expected to begin intense physical prep and training for the sequence by the end of this month.
Earlier, fans were already thrilled when a behind-the-scenes video surfaced from a shoot in Odisha, showing Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran filming together. The shoot’s location was even acknowledged by local MLA Rama Chandra Kadam, who tweeted confirming the team’s presence, further fueling speculation around the grand scale of the film.
SSMB29 is shaping up to be a globe-trotting adventure thriller, marking the first-ever collaboration between Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu. With a production scale that rivals some of the biggest blockbusters, the film is reportedly being made on a massive budget and promises a never-before-seen cinematic experience. Contrary to earlier rumors suggesting a two-part release, Pinkvilla had exclusively reported that the film will be a single feature, with filming expected to extend into 2026 and a potential release date in 2027.
With a star cast that includes Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, and SS Rajamouli at the helm, SSMB29 is not just a film — it’s an event the entire nation is waiting for.
