Recent reports have suggested that veteran Bollywood actor Nana Patekar was approached for a significant role in SS Rajamouli's upcoming film starring Mahesh Babu, tentatively titled SSMB29. While initial buzz indicated that Patekar might play Mahesh Babu's father, further details remained unclear, leaving fans and industry insiders speculating about the nature of his character. However, conflicting reports have now emerged, suggesting that Nana Patekar has turned down the offer.

The reasons behind Patekar's decision to reportedly reject the role are not explicitly stated in available sources. Some reports suggest that Patekar turned down Welcome 3 because of a bad script. It's possible he did not find the role suitable to his expectations. The actor is known for his impactful performances in films.

SSMB29 is already generating considerable excitement as a pan-world project. Rajamouli is reportedly taking meticulous precautions to ensure a grand cinematic experience. The film is being planned on a Hollywood scale, with high-end visual effects and action sequences. Special teams are dedicated to crafting world-class adventure and action elements. The film is touted to be a global adventure film with a forest-based storyline.

Adding to the anticipation, there are reports that Priyanka Chopra may play the female lead in the film. Reportedly, both Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra participated in workshops in Hyderabad. The makers are aiming for a well-known international face to cater to the global market.

The film's title has also been a subject of speculation. Initial reports suggested names like "Maharaj" and "Garuda," but Rajamouli is now said to be considering a more universal title that reflects the theme of "generations," hinting at a multi-generational storyline.

The makers are keeping details tightly under wraps and plan to make an official announcement once the film is ready for release.
