The casting rumors surrounding SSMB29, SS Rajamouli’s next film starring Mahesh Babu, continue to swirl. Recently, the makers denied reports of bringing on board casting director Viren Swami. Now, the latest buzz suggests Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran is in talks for a pivotal role in the high-profile project.
Tentatively titled SSMB29, the film has garnered immense anticipation for being Rajamouli’s follow-up to the global phenomenon, RRR. This pan-India adventure film is expected to begin production in the latter half of 2024.
While there’s no official confirmation yet, reports claim Rajamouli is in discussions with Prithviraj for a potential collaboration. Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu is busy attending workshops and finalizing a distinct look for his character. To maintain secrecy, he might even reduce public appearances.
KL Narayana will be producing this big-budget entertainer under the Durga Arts banner.
