SSMB29, the highly anticipated film directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu, is currently in the pre-production stage with a script penned by writer Vijayendra Prasad. Excitement for the project is mounting, particularly due to recent casting rumors.
Speculation has arisen that actor Chiyaan Vikram was approached to play the antagonist in the film. During a recent media interaction in Hyderabad, ahead of the release of his film Thangalaan, Vikram was asked about these rumors. Although he didn’t confirm any details, he hinted at ongoing discussions, stating, “Rajamouli garu is a good friend. We have been talking for a while now. Of course, we will be doing a film sometime.”
In addition to Vikram, rumors also suggest that Prithviraj Sukumaran is in talks to star as the primary antagonist. This has heightened anticipation, especially since both Vikram and Prithviraj starred in Mani Ratnam’s Raavanan. Aamir Khan’s name has also surfaced in casting speculations, but there have been no official updates from the production team.
SSMB29 is rumored to follow an Indiana Jones-style adventure, incorporating elements inspired by the character of Lord Hanuman, celebrated for his strength and valor. The storyline is expected to weave themes of adventure and heroism within the lush and treacherous backdrop of African jungles, potentially drawing inspiration from Wilbur Smith’s novels. However, these details have not yet been officially confirmed.
As pre-production progresses, the film continues to generate buzz, with fans eagerly awaiting more news about the cast and plot of this exciting project.
SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated film, SSMB29, starring Mahesh Babu, is set to begin filming in late 2024 or early 2025. With Mahesh Babu as the sole confirmed cast member so far, the film promises high-quality visuals and innovative storytelling that Rajamouli is renowned for.
Meanwhile, Chiyaan Vikram is gearing up for the release of his film, Thangalaan, slated to hit theaters on Independence Day, August 15. The release of Thangalaan will coincide with several other major releases, including Mr. Bachchan, Raghu Thatha, Stree 2, and Demonte Colony 2, setting up an exciting clash at the box office.
