SS Rajamouli, the visionary filmmaker behind Magadheera, Eega, Baahubali, and RRR, is known for pushing the boundaries of grand visuals and groundbreaking VFX in Indian cinema. But for his upcoming film with Superstar Mahesh Babu, tentatively titled SSMB 29, Rajamouli seems to be taking a different, more realistic cinematic approach.
After wrapping up extensive schedules in India, the SSMB 29 team has now moved to Nairobi, Kenya, for the next schedule. The film’s leading lady, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, shared a glimpse of her African safari on Instagram. Her posts featured captivating pictures and videos of wildlife, including Hyenas, Hippopotamuses, Ostriches, and African Buffaloes.
These posts have sparked speculation among fans that Rajamouli is avoiding CGI-heavy sequences and instead focusing on shooting real animals and natural landscapes to give audiences an authentic jungle experience. Considering Rajamouli’s track record of visual brilliance, this shift has created massive excitement among fans worldwide.
As officially revealed, SSMB 29 is set to be a globe-trotting action-adventure drama, largely set against a forest backdrop. Apart from Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, the movie also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran in a crucial role. With Rajamouli at the helm, expectations are sky-high for this one-of-a-kind action spectacle.
