The excitement surrounding SS Rajamouli's upcoming project with Mahesh Babu, tentatively titled SSMB29, has reached fever pitch with the director teasing a significant reveal in November 2025. In a special message shared on Mahesh Babu's 50th birthday, Rajamouli acknowledged the anticipation and promised something extraordinary for cinema lovers worldwide.
Rajamouli explained that the film's story and scope are so vast that traditional promotional methods like pictures or press conferences wouldn't do it justice. Instead, the team is working on a "never-before-seen" reveal to showcase the essence, depth, and immersive world they are creating. This has led to speculation and heightened expectations among fans.
Adding fuel to the fire, a pre-look poster was also released, offering a glimpse into Mahesh Babu's character. The poster features a close-up of Mahesh Babu's chest, adorned with a beaded necklace featuring a trishul and Nandi, symbols associated with Lord Shiva. Bloodstains around the neck hint at an intense action sequence. This imagery suggests the character might have spiritual or mythological connections.
Adding to the intrigue, the hashtag #Globetrotter accompanied the reveal announcement, leading many to speculate that "Globetrotter" might be the film's official title. The film is touted to be a grand-scale adventure spanning multiple countries, blending Indian culture with global appeal. Some reports suggest the film is inspired by classics like Indiana Jones and will be a jungle-based adventure.
SSMB29 marks the first collaboration between Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu, making it one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema. The film boasts a stellar cast, including Priyanka Chopra, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and R. Madhavan. Priyanka Chopra's inclusion marks her return to Indian cinema.
Reportedly, a considerable portion of the film has been shot in Odisha. Mahesh Babu is said to be performing his own stunts in the film. The film is being made on a lavish budget, estimated at ₹1000 crore, making it one of the most expensive projects for both Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli. It is expected to be released in two parts, with the first part hitting theaters in 2027 and the second in 2029.
While specific plot details remain a mystery, the combination of Rajamouli's vision, Mahesh Babu's charisma, and the promise of a globetrotting adventure has created immense buzz around SSMB29. The "never-before-seen" reveal planned for November 2025 is eagerly awaited by fans and industry insiders alike.
