SS Rajamoulis SSMB29 Story, Cast, Stunt Scenes: RRR Director Spills The Beans On Mahesh Babu-Starrer
Hyderabad: Pointing out that the story and scope of his upcoming magnum opus with actor Mahesh Babu, tentatively being referred to as SSMB29, was so vast that mere pictures or press conferences would not do it justice, ace director SS Rajamouli on Saturday disclosed that the team was working on something to showcase the essence, depth and immersive world they were creating and that this would be revealed in November this year. On the occasion of Mahesh Babu's birthday on Saturday, Rajamouli took to his X timeline to post the message that read, "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. We are currently working on something to showcase the essence, depth, and immersive world we are creating. This will be unveiled in November 2025, and we are trying to make ita NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN reveal. Thank you all for your patience." The film has consistently been in the news in recent times for a number of reasons. One of them is that actor Mahesh Babu will be seen performing all the stunts in the film himself without opting for a body double. The grapevine has it that the actor will not be opting for a body double while performing stunts in this film. Interestingly, SS Rajamouli has chosen to work with a different cinematographer for this film instead of his favourite cinematographer K K Senthil Kumar. It may be recalled that KK Senthil Kumar was the cinematographer for a number of blockbusters that Rajamouli directed including films like Magadheera, Baahubali -The Beginning and RRR. A considerable portion of SSMB29, which is being made on a lavish budget, was shot at Odisha. The film, apart from Mahesh Babu, features Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran among others. The film, an action adventure with some amount of history and mythology, is expected to be released in 2027.

Disgraced ex-Astronomer CEO Andy Byron blew over ₹2 core on OnlyFans; creator says ‘multiple girls' involved
Astronomer's disgraced former CEO Andy Byron is once again in the spotlight. This time, for new bombshell allegations that have revealed that the ex-CEO reportedly spent over $250,000 (~ ₹ 2.18 crore) on subscriptions, custom content, and video calls with multiple OnlyFans creators. According to The Blast, Bop House creator Camilla Araujo claimed she had seen the receipts. "We're talking a quarter million in sub fees, custom content, and video calls. Not just with Sophie, with multiple girls.' Andy Byron, Kristin Cabot — these two names came into the spotlight after a 'Kiss Cam,' at a Coldplay concert in Boston, captured the two, locked in a tight embrace. The 'oops' moment that soon followed, went viral on social media, with netizens buzzing about it for days. The fresh wave of allegations about Byron spending over $250,000 comes days after the ex-CEO faced backlash over explicit messages allegedly leaked by Kerrigan, showing Byron using a secret 'Finsta' account to communicate with OnlyFans star Sophie Rain. The screenshots suggest the former CEO offered up to $40,000 for private content and requested explicit video calls, reported The Blast. One exchange allegedly shows Byron telling Rain, 'All good. Most guys I talk to are married,' to which she seemingly replied, 'Okay, call me in 5 minutes, along with a 'winky face' emoji". In the immediate aftermath of the viral moment, both Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot were placed on administrative leave. Some days later, Byron stepped down from the position of CEO. "As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.
