Mahesh Babu is all set to take on his most physically demanding role yet in the much-anticipated SSMB29, directed by blockbuster filmmaker SS Rajamouli. In a bold move, the superstar has reportedly chosen to perform all of his action sequences himself—without a body double—bringing an added layer of realism and intensity to the film.
A Globe-Trotting Adventure with High Stakes
Touted as a globe-trotting action-adventure, SSMB29 is shaping up to be one of the biggest projects in Telugu cinema history. With international locations and massive production values, the film aims to raise the bar for action storytelling in India. Mahesh Babu’s decision to handle the stunts himself echoes what Prabhas and Ram Charan did in Rajamouli’s earlier blockbusters, ensuring the audience gets a raw and gripping experience.
Rajamouli and Senthil Kumar Part Ways for This Project
In a surprising development, cinematographer KK Senthil Kumar, known for his stunning visuals in RRR, Baahubali, and Magadheera, will not be working on SSMB29. Speaking to Telugu 360, Senthil confirmed that Rajamouli has opted to collaborate with a new cinematographer, signaling a fresh visual approach for the film.
Exciting Additions: Dance Number and Priyanka Chopra Cameo
The production team has been tight-lipped about the film’s plot, but exciting updates are surfacing. According to Deccan Chronicle, Mahesh Babu will feature in a high-energy solo dance number shot on a massive market set near Hyderabad. Additionally, Priyanka Chopra has filmed a special sequence for the movie, featuring the traditional Mayurbhanj Chhau dance, adding further cultural richness to the film.
With action, emotion, and a star-studded surprise element, SSMB29 promises to be a cinematic spectacle.
