SSMB29 Delayed? Kenya Schedule Reportedly Cancelled Amid Rumors of Script Changes
The buzz around SSMB29, the highly anticipated globe-trotting action-adventure directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu, continues to dominate Tollywood circles. With a cast that includes Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran, this ambitious project is shaping up to be one of India’s most awaited pan-Indian cinematic spectacles.
Kenya Schedule Called Off Due to Unrest?
The film had already wrapped important schedules in Hyderabad and Odisha, with its next high-octane action schedule initially planned in Kenya. However, fresh reports suggest that the Kenyan leg of filming has been called off due to ongoing political and ethnic unrest in the country.
Sources say director Rajamouli is now exploring alternative locations such as South Africa or Tanzania to shoot the action-heavy sequences.
Delay Not Just Logistical—Script Revamp Rumored
While the Kenya unrest is the official reason, another narrative is emerging. Strong industry whispers hint that Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu were reportedly not fully satisfied with certain portions of the script, leading to a temporary pause in production. The director and his writing team are said to be reworking the narrative to ensure the film delivers an exceptional cinematic experience.
Whether this is a brief delay or a more extensive revision is still unclear. No official confirmation has come from the team so far.
Waiting Game Begins
As fans await clarity on the revised shooting schedule, expectations remain sky-high. With KL Narayana producing under Durga Arts and the combined star power of Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, SSMB29 is positioned to be a groundbreaking venture in Indian cinema.
Stay tuned for confirmed updates as the team recalibrates for the next phase of production.
