More details on SSMB29
SSMB29, starring Mahesh Babu, is said to be a globe-trotting jungle adventure, with the actor portraying a rugged explorer inspired by Indiana Jones and African folklore. However, no official confirmation about the plot has been made yet.
As part of Mahesh’s 50th birthday celebrations this year, the makers announced that the official reveal of the film will take place in November 2025. The team has promised that it will be a ‘Never-Before-Seen’ reveal, teasing a brand new look for the actor.
The highly anticipated magnum opus by the RRR director is reportedly being made on a massive budget of Rs 900-1000 crore.

Alongside Mahesh and Priyanka, the cast is also said to include R Madhavan and Prithviraj Sukumaran in pivotal roles.
