Chiyaan Vikram Not Part of SSMB29 – Here’s Why
National Award-winning actor Chiyaan Vikram was recently rumored to be part of the much-awaited action epic SSMB29, directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu. However, fresh reports now reveal that Vikram has not signed on for the film, and here’s the likely reason behind it.
Sources close to the actor suggest that Vikram has long maintained a strict stance on avoiding antagonist roles, especially in big-budget hero-centric films. Though he has immense respect for Rajamouli and has reportedly met with him for discussions, no official agreement was reached.
This adds weight to the speculation that Vikram chose to step back because he did not want to play a secondary role or an outright villain in a film led by another leading star like Mahesh Babu. Moreover, the actor is also said to be focusing on solo lead projects that align with his brand and artistic values.
While fans were excited at the prospect of seeing Vikram in Rajamouli’s visionary universe, it looks like they’ll have to wait a bit longer to see this powerful collaboration materialize.
