Mahesh Babu, Rajamouli To Kickstart Next Leg Of SSMB29, Will Priyanka Chopra Join In?
Last Updated: As for SSMB29, it marks Chopra Jonas' comeback Indian film after The White Tiger that released in 2021. Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli are currently busy with the shoot of their highly-anticipated film SSMB29. It is being reported that the next leg of the shooting is all set to begin later this month. The big-budget action-adventure is finally moving into its next major schedule, and speculation is rife that global icon Priyanka Chopra may soon join the cast. 123 Telugu has reported that Mahesh, Rajamouli, and SSMB29's team members are gearing up to kickstart the film's next schedule on June 9. The soon-to-commence schedule will take place in Hyderabad. But it is not clear whether Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran will join for the upcoming schedule. Earlier this year, speculations were rife that Nana Patekar has been roped in to play an important role in it that will shape the protagonist's journey in SSMB29. As per reports, a look test was conducted for the veteran actor and he was supposed to play the role of Babu's father in the film. But seems like there's little truth to the story. When News18 Showsha reached out to Patekar, he told us, 'No." However, a while back, a reliable source had informed us that the RRR and Baahubali director had approached him last year but he politely turned down the offer. The reason? The role didn't entice him enough. The source further revealed to us that the makers of SSMB29 had offered a very heavy amount to Patekar for the role for the shoot of which he was supposed to allot about a couple of weeks. 'The money offered was close to an unprecedented Rs 20 crore. And he had to only shoot for about 15 days. But he felt that the role wasn't something that he wanted to sink his teeth into," the source added. As for SSMB29, it marks Chopra Jonas' comeback Indian film after The White Tiger that released in 2021. SSMB29, which is being compared to Indiana Jones for its scale and ambition, is written by Rajamouli's father, V Vijayendra Prasad. It's slated for a 2027 release. Coming to Rajamouli, post SSMB29, he'll begin the shoot of Made In India, a pan-Indian release on the life of the Father of Indian Cinema, Dadasaheb Phalke. Jr NTR has been roped in to play the lead in the film. Additionally, Rajamouli is planning a 10-part retelling of the Indian epic, Mahabharat. First Published: June 06, 2025, 12:22 IST

'Joe wants to win football. Shedeur wants to dance': Shedeur Sanders shows Joe Flacco a dance move and netizens smell something fishy
(Image via Getty: Joe Flacco with Shedeur Sanders) There are two kinds of players in the Cleveland Browns. One wants to win football. While the other wants to dance. 40-year-old veteran quarterback for the Browns, Joe Flacco, wants to concentrate on the OTAs, but a 23-year-old rookie quarterback wants to keep his nerves cool by showing off some dance moves! For Joe Flacco, when it's time for business, it's time for business, no playing, fooling, or dancing around then. But for the newest rookie in Cleveland, with loads and loads of pressure over his head - no team selecting him in the 2025 NFL draft, carrying the heavy weight of his father Deion Sanders' heritage, and leaving some time off the 'legendary posts' phase - dance is everything! Especially when it's in the OTAs. One fan even wrote, "I dance everywhere - grocery store, doing yard work, housework, taking a walk. I didn't get this way until I became confident in myself, and could care less about what others thought - as long as I ain't hurting nobody. It's like that when you don't need others to define you." Despite talks of competition among quarterbacks in the Cleveland Browns, Shedeur Sanders likes to keep it cool with his dance moves 'You ever hit that dance?' asked a relaxed QB of Browns, Shedeur Sanders. 'What's that?' quizzed a curious QB of Browns, Joe Flacco. Shedeur Sanders shows a dance move with clenched fists and folded elbows crisscrossing and the hips moving along rhythmically - a leaner version of floss dance and a perfect version of swaying-to-the-music dance! Also, it could be a slower version of the Cabbage Patch dance! Anyway, Joe Flacco chuckled and replied, ' Definitely not.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo 'What!' reacted a surprised QB of the Browns, Sanders. 'I don't know if I've ever hit a public dance move in my life!' exclaimed a determined QB of the Browns, Flacco! Fans say QB Shedeur Sanders is trying to distract a determined Cleveland Browns QB Joe Flacco from practicing in the OTAs A fan called Shedeur Sanders' dancing before Joe Flacco, '😆 🤣 Homeboy Sanders just trying to distract Flacco, so he can at least one 1st team rep before the season starts.' Another found 'Shedeur too funny.' One fan declared, 'Browns should settle the QB competition with a dance off 😏.' Another fan differentiated between the two quarterbacks, 'Joe is a superbowl winning qb that only cares about playing. Shedeur wants to be a celebrity.' A fan called it a family moment, 'It's like the fun uncle and his favorite nephew.' Another fan complimented Shedeur Sanders by saying, 'Some people handle things that others think are stressful differently than others. They had fun fun in Colorado. Their comradery was their success.' One fan went on to say, '12 playing mind games, distracting Joe, to not get cut.' Another fan said, 'One is a serious QB and one isn't.' Why was a fan so serious to comment, 'Not an appropriate question from a rookie backup qb. Can definitely see why no one wanted to draft him.' Another fan seemed serious, too, 'Flacco has no time for that nonsense. He's there to play football.' A fan wrote, 'Flacco has such Tired Dad Energy, it's perfect for Cleveland.' Another commented, 'Either Sanders is going to be a failed experiment like Johnny Manziel or will be the greatest QB ever. No in between.'
