Fans of Indian cinema have a major reason to celebrate! Ace director SS Rajamouli is teaming up with superstar Mahesh Babu for a much-awaited film, currently known as SSMB29. The buzz around the movie has grown even stronger with reports saying that the makers have finalized March 25, 2027 as the release date.
And this is no ordinary date. It’s the same day Rajamouli’s blockbuster film RRR was released in 2022. With this strategic move, fans can’t help but wonder – is Rajamouli trying to recreate the same box office magic?
A Special Release Date With Big Expectations
According to reports from Gulte, the team behind SSMB29 is aiming to bring back the success of RRR by launching the film exactly five years after RRR’s release. RRR was more than just a film – it became a global sensation. It earned praise from fans and critics all over the world, and even brought home several international awards.
By choosing the same release date, Rajamouli is clearly aiming high. This move shows his confidence that SSMB29 could be even bigger than RRR. The timing is not just symbolic but also smart, as it builds strong emotional and promotional value.
SSMB29: A New Adventure, Not a Sequel
While some fans are calling SSMB29 the “next RRR,” reports suggest it will be a completely different story. As per Sacnilk, this film will be a thrilling adventure filled with jungle action scenes and mythological elements.
The movie stars Mahesh Babu in the lead role, taking on a physically demanding character. Joining him is global star Priyanka Chopra, who returns to Indian cinema in a powerful new avatar. She plays the female lead in what is said to be a high-action role. Meanwhile, Prithviraj Sukumaran will be playing the main villain, adding more excitement to the project.
Set in Kashi, Recreated on Grand Sets
According to a report in Pinkvilla, the film will be deeply rooted in Indian mythology and history. The story takes place in the ancient holy city of Kashi (Varanasi), which holds a key place in the storyline. But instead of shooting in the real city, the team is building massive sets in Hyderabad that will recreate the atmosphere of Kashi.
The reason? Shooting such a grand film in real locations would be difficult and time-consuming, especially with the level of detail Rajamouli is known for.
A Massive Budget and Two-Part Epic
SSMB29 is not just another movie — it’s being planned as one of the biggest Indian films ever made. Reports suggest that the film will be made in two parts and could cost over ₹1,000 crore. That’s a budget few films in India have ever reached.
Even though an official announcement is still pending, the production work is already in full swing. With a top-tier cast, legendary director, and a story that mixes mythology and action, SSMB29 is already looking like a future blockbuster.
