Director SS Rajamouli and superstar Mahesh Babu are teaming up for the first time in SSMB29, produced by KL On Durga Arts, with Narayana backing the big-budget project. The film’s first look is expected in November.

Reports suggest Rajamouli will use blue-screen technology to depict African forests. Initially planned for Kenya’s national parks, the shoot may now move to Tanzania’s Serengeti due to political tensions, though the team hasn’t confirmed the changes.
