SS Rajamouli is back with another wild spectacle after his blockbuster film RRR. His next big project SSMB 29 with Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra just got even more exciting. Sources revealed that Rajamouli is planning one of the most ambitious action sequences attempted in Indian cinema. This major scene takes place entirely on a boat, packed with fire, water, and high-stakes chaos.
Priyanka Chopra, Mahesh Babu Set To Shoot Boat Action Scene For SSMB 29
The scale is massive as the team plans to train around 3,000 people for this one sequence. This includes Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Training begins by the end of April. They will shoot the scene through May and June in Hyderabad.
A source revealed, “The action block involves water, fire, and a whole lot of chaos. It will be mounted on a grand scale with the stunt choreography expected to match international standards.”
Rajamouli has brought in international stunt experts to raise the bar even higher. He’s aiming to top the scale of RRR, which has already set a huge benchmark.
The actors will shoot their parts separately. “Priyanka will film her parts first. Mahesh will join soon after, and Prithvi will lock a chunk of this before starting Daayra with Kareena [Kapoor Khan],” said a crew member.
Film Won’t Release In Two Parts As Planned
There were earlier rumours that SSMB 29 would be released in two parts, just like Baahubali. That’s no longer the case.
A source confirmed to Pinkvilla, “SS Rajamouli is a firm believer in breaking all norms and narrates stories in a format that holds the attention of the audience. He started the trend of narrating a single story in two parts with Baahubali, and is now looking to revamp the game by mounting a story as vast as SSMB 29 in a single part.”
Instead of stretching the film across two releases, Rajamouli is going all in. The film will run for 3 hours and 30 minutes. It blends mythology, fantasy, and adventure, all set in the holy city of Kashi.
The team has already shot some key moments. They’re also preparing a sharp 2-minute announcement video. The makers plan to drop that soon, confirming the 2027 release.
