has touched down in Nairobi to commence the next schedule of filmmaker SS Rajamouli's SSMB29, starring

in the lead.
Late Tuesday night, PeeCee took to her handle to share photos from her Nairobi-bound flight.
Fans were then treated to glimpses from the actress' safari into "pride lands". Taking to her handle, she posted videos of herself enjoying her time in the great outdoors, taking in the fresh air and spotting the animals in the wild.
Priyanka shares pics and videos from safari
From sharing photos of hyenas to buffaloes, ostriches, and hippos, she took fans along on her adventurous day out.
Rajamouli's update on SSMB29
News broke last month about the team's decision to move base to Africa to shoot some intense action and other chase sequences for the upcoming adventure film.
The excitement around SSMB 29 has only intensified since Rajamouli's recent birthday message for Mahesh Babu. In the note, the acclaimed director addressed fans' curiosity, writing: 'Dear film enthusiasts in India and across the globe, as well as Mahesh's fans, it has been some time since we commenced filming, and we appreciate your enthusiasm to learn more about the movie.
However, the narrative and scale of this film are so extensive that I believe simple images or press events cannot adequately convey it.

The film marks Chopra's grand return to Indian cinema after several international projects, making it one of the most closely watched productions of the year. The pan-India spectacle is reportedly eyeing a March 25, 2027 release, although these reports are still unconfirmed.

5 Ways Abhay Prabhavana makes learning fun for all ages
PUNE: Museums are mostly perceived as serious spaces where visitors wander through silent halls, looking at artefacts behind glass. This experience can feel passive, more about looking than truly connecting. Abhay Prabhavana Museum and Knowledge Centre, located along the peaceful flow of the Indrayani River, defies this expectation entirely. Rather than a traditional museum of objects, it is a 'museum of ideas', an experience where Indian values and wisdom are best discovered, and not just delivered. Here, curiosity is welcomed, drawing people of all ages – right from a young explorer or insightful elders - into an experience that informs, inspires and genuinely connects. 1. Galleries That Spark Curiosity With over 30 thoughtfully curated galleries, Abhay Prabhavana offers a rich, immersive journey through India's spiritual, cultural, and civilizational heritage. Whether the exhibits are about enterprise, ethics or delving into ancient knowledge traditions, the experience is designed to spark curiosity and reflection, rather than just deliver facts. The exhibits invite questions, reflections, and dialogue. Children are captivated by vibrant dioramas and animated displays, while adults find themselves drawn to the deeper ideas and insights, thus creating a rare space where generations learn and get enriched together. 2. Interactive Experiences That Invite Participation At Abhay Prabhavana, learning is hands-on and engaging. From touch-enabled kiosks to dynamic motion graphics and immersive soundscapes, the museum uses technology to breathe life into philosophy and history, making the experience feel both contemporary and effortlessly engaging. The young visitors can see cosmos come alive through vivid animations, while older visitors can explore profound themes like compassion, restraint, and co-existence – brought to life by interactive tools that turn complex wisdom into something accessible and meaningful. 3. Outdoor Heritage Walks through India's past and present Learning continues beyond the museum walls. The outdoor spaces at Abhay Prabhavana celebrate India's rich heritage through engaging, educational experiences that leave a lasting impression. A walk through the outdoor Heritage Trail reveals sculptural recreations of ancient heritage sites like the Jal Mandir at Pavapuri, Dholavira's urban layout, the intricacies of Kere Basadi or the Gwalior Caves. These aren't just architectural replicas; they are vivid lessons in culture, urban planning, and spiritual geography, conveyed not through words, but through experience. 4. Connection through storytelling The museum embraces effective storytelling mediums to create powerful emotional connections that linger long after the visit. Children are captivated by the tales of Brahmi and Sundari, the visionary daughters of Rishabhdev, whose legacy shaped writing and literacy. Adults often find themselves quietly reflecting on the murals that speak of human values – forgiveness, humility, ethical governance. Through its immersive storytelling, the museum invites visitors to reflect and relate – transforming learning into a deeply personal journey, rather than just an intellectual exercise. 5. A journey through timeless wisdom for all What makes Abhay Prabhavana truly enriching is its ability to invite everyone, regardless of age into a journey of discovery, without being overwhelming. It doesn't dilute wisdom for children, nor does it burden adults with unnecessary complexity. Instead, it offers layered, engaging experiences that allow visitors to explore ideas at their own pace. A child is drawn to colour and motion, a teenager begins to contemplate with meaningful questions, and a scholar uncovers rich philosophical depth. It's a place where visitors find something to reflect upon and every family leaves with something worth discussing.
