The upcoming collaboration between director Rajamouli and actor Mahesh Babu, referred to as SSMB29, has generated significant excitement among fans. Rajamouli, who created a sensation with his magnum opus RRR, has raised expectations for SSMB29. The project has been described as a globetrotting experience, promising an action-packed adventure.
Reports suggest that Rajamouli intends to turn the film into a franchise, introducing new characters and following the footsteps of Hollywood’s iconic Indiana Jones series. Rajamouli has previously expressed his vision, stating, “My next film with Mahesh Babu will be a globetrotting action adventure. It’s going to be a kind of James Bond or Indiana Jones film with Indian roots.”
The film is anticipated to release in 2025, and Rajamouli has revealed that he has long desired to create a globe-trotting film inspired by the likes of Indiana Jones or the captivating world of Dan Brown’s books. He mentioned that his father is currently working on sketching the adventurous thematic genre, and although the script has not been finalized, progress is being made.
Vijayendra Prasad, the film’s writer, shared that the project follows the vein of the Indiana Jones series, promising an adventure-action drama infused with emotional depth, akin to the classic film Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). He also mentioned that the script is expected to be completed by July and handed over to Rajamouli. While they hope to make it a franchise, the climax will be left open-ended, allowing for the exploration of a potential sequel.
Overall, fans eagerly await the release of SSMB29, as the combination of Rajamouli’s directorial prowess and Mahesh Babu’s star power promises an enthralling cinematic experience.
