SSMB29 leaks affects shoot

Earlier, photos from the set of SS Rajamouli's untitled next had also leaked. The unit had been filming in Odisha with lead stars Mahesh babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran when images and videos of the scene being filmed, seemingly without the knowledge of the makers, were shared on social media.
