Despite taking extensive precautions, director S.S. Rajamouli's upcoming film with Mahesh Babu has faced a setback as a video from the set was leaked. The footage, which was filmed during the second shooting schedule in Koraput, Odisha, went viral under the hashtag #SSMB29. The film unit has filed complaints with cybercrime authorities and plans to take legal action against those responsible for uploading the video.

The leaked video shows actor Prithviraj Sukumaran, playing the villain, sitting on a chair while Mahesh Babu stands menacingly. The scene hints at an intense battle between the two characters. Rajamouli, known for his secrecy and careful handling of film details, expressed his frustration with the leaks, especially since Mahesh Babu's look had already been revealed online earlier. Despite efforts to control the situation, it seems that such leaks are inevitable during production.
