About SSMB 29
Rajamouli's SSMB 29 will be an adventure film along the lines of Indiana Jones. Recently, the director announced that the film's first glimpse will be released in November. He wrote, 'Dear Cinema Lovers in India and around the world, as well as fans of Mahesh, It has been a while since we began shooting, and we appreciate your eagerness to know about the film. However, the story and scope of this film are so vast that I feel mere pictures or press conferences cannot do it justice.'
A video of Mahesh and Prithviraj was leaked online when they shot for the film in Odisha earlier this year. Videos of Priyanka were also leaked, but they were near her hotel room and not from the film's set.
