SSMB29: Mahesh Babu goes Prabhas way, skips use of body double for stunts in SS Rajamouli's magnum opus
Will Mahesh Babu shoot his own stunts for SSMB29?
According to a Telugu Cinema report, Mahesh Babu is said to be following in the footsteps of actors like Prabhas and Ram Charan, who have previously worked with SS Rajamouli.
Well, the Guntur Kaaram star would minimize the use of stunt doubles for the globe-trotting adventure and take on some high-risk action sequences himself. The idea behind this choice is to keep Mahesh at the centre of all these thrilling scenes that are being shot.
However, these are merely reports at the moment, and it remains to be confirmed from the makers' or actor's side yet.
Did SS Rajamouli replace his oldest cinematographer for SSMB29?
Notable cinematographer Senthik Kumar, who's worked with SS Rajamouli in a number of films like Magadheera, Baahubali: The Beginning, and RRR, recently revealed not being a part of SSMB29.
Speaking with Telugu 360, he explained the reason behind his absence and said, 'It's Rajamouli's call. He wanted to try someone new for SSMB29, which is why I'm not working as the cinematographer.'
Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra shot extensive dance sequences for the film
While the makers have kept the status of the film's shooting under wraps, a report by Deccan Chronicle revealed that Mahesh Babu would be performing a solo and racy dance number in the movie.
For this purpose, a large-scale set has been created, replicating a marketplace in the outskirts of Hyderabad.
On the other hand, Priyanka Chopra has shot a scene of Mayurbhanj Chhau dance in the movie. This was confirmed by the choreographer himself with a post on Instagram.

Not every actor in Bollywood has the potential to leave a mark on the audience's hearts such that even after decades, his presence can make people go gaga. His fandom has reached great heights, and he receives truckloads of love. If you are wondering who this actor is, then let us tell you we are talking about R. Madhavan. When R. Madhavan was a Teacher Long before R. Madhavan became a heartthrob on the big screen, he was a soft-spoken teacher helping students find confidence. One of those students ended up changing the course of his life forever. Back in 1991, in Kolhapur, a young woman named Sarita Birje enrolled in Madhavan's personality development class. She was preparing for a career in aviation. Who is R. Madhavan's Wife ? After getting her first job, Sarita Birje invited her teacher for dinner as a token of thanks. That evening sparked a connection that quietly grew into something more than just mentor and student. Eight years later, the two were married in a traditional Tamil ceremony. They got married in 1999. This came just a year before his breakthrough in Mani Ratnam's Alai Payuthey (Sakhi in Telugu), which catapulted him to stardom as the charming, relatable lover boy. Now, Madhavan rules the industry with his heart. He is one of the most talented stars in the industry.
