The dynamic duo is going all out to ensure its success.
A Two-Part Jungle Adventure
According to a recent report by Pinkvilla, the script for SSMB 29 has been completed. SS Rajamouli aims to blend the jungle adventure genre with thrilling espionage elements. Filming is set to commence in April 2025, with the project being divided into two parts, slated for release in 2027 and 2029.
Casting News
Alongside Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, Prithviraj Sukumaran has been cast as the main antagonist. Casting is still ongoing, with many more renowned actors expected to join the project.
Salary and Budget
SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu have opted for a profit-sharing agreement instead of the usual salary structure. They have struck a 40% profit-sharing deal with the producers to avoid burdening the project with high fees. This move aims to create a lasting legacy in cinema for audiences everywhere.
The film, starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, reportedly has a budget of an astounding 1000 crores, making it the most expensive film ever made in India, surpassing even Pushpa 2 and Ramayan.
Future Collaborations
SS Rajamouli has honored his commitment to producers D. V. V. Danayya and Narayana K.L., fulfilling promises made before the release of Baahubali. After SSMB 29, Rajamouli plans to become a solo producer, partnering directly with studios for future projects.
