Filmmaker SS Rajamouli, a name synonymous with cinematic grandeur and record-breaking success, is on the verge of making history once again. His upcoming epic adventure, tentatively titled SSMB29, starring superstar Mahesh Babu, alongside Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran, is set to have the widest global release ever for an Indian film. The film will be screened in over 120 countries, shattering the previous record held by Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, which was released in 100 countries.

This ambitious global footprint is a testament to Rajamouli's vision and the immense international appeal he has cultivated with films like Baahubali and the Oscar-winning RRR. The announcement has sent a wave of excitement through the film industry and among fans, confirming that Rajamouli is not just a national treasure but a filmmaker with truly global aspirations.

An Epic Adventure: From Kenya's Wilds to a New Cinematic Universe

Billed as a globe-trotting, Indiana Jones-style adventure, SSMB29 promises a cinematic experience unlike any other. The team recently wrapped a key shooting schedule in Kenya, a location known for its breathtaking and rugged landscapes. This choice of location underscores the film's international scope and its commitment to delivering an authentic adventure story. Sources suggest the film will take audiences on an exhilarating journey through diverse terrains, from dense forests to mysterious caves.

The story is reportedly a period drama set between 1854 and 1878, during the British Raj. Mahesh Babu will be seen in a raw, rustic Rayalaseema avatar for the first time, a stark departure from his more urban roles. The narrative is said to be deeply rooted in strong emotions, powerful action, and edgy writing, a signature of the Rajamouli-Vijayendra Prasad duo. The film is also reportedly recreating the ancient city of Kashi on a grand set in Hyderabad, blending history, mythology, and adventure.

A Dream Cast for a Grand Vision

The stellar cast is another major factor contributing to the film's massive buzz. The combination of Mahesh Babu, a powerhouse of the Telugu film industry, with the global icon Priyanka Chopra, and the versatile Prithviraj Sukumaran is a casting coup. Priyanka's return to Indian cinema in such a pivotal role, following her successful international career, is a major draw. Similarly, Prithviraj's presence adds to the film's pan-Indian appeal, and his casting as the antagonist hints at a gripping on-screen conflict.

With its grand scale, a story that blends history with high-octane action, and a star cast with international recognition, SSMB29 is not just a film; it is a global event. The sheer scale of its release—projected to reach over a billion viewers worldwide—signals a new era for Indian cinema, one where geographical boundaries are no longer a barrier. Rajamouli is not just telling a story; he is carving a path for Indian films to become true global phenomena. The world is waiting, and anticipation for #SSMB29 is at an all-time high.
