Superstar Mahesh Babu and director Rajamouli are teaming up for SSMB29, an action-adventure film with a substantial budget.

Mahesh Babu, preparing rigorously for his role, has transformed his appearance and physique. The script is finalized, and Rajamouli is currently finalizing the cast, including potentially international actors and technicians.

Rumors suggest Indonesian actress Chelsea Elizabeth Islan might star alongside Mahesh, though no official confirmation has been made.

Excitingly, Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran is rumored to play the villain, set to clash with Mahesh Babu in the film. Prithviraj, known for his Pan-India presence after 'Salar,' is reportedly onboard after Rajamouli approached him for the role.
