SSMB29 is a jungle adventure

Touted on a reported budget of over ₹1000 crore, SSMB29 is slated as an action-adventure movie. A source close to the production told Pinkvilla, “The core conflict of the jungle adventure unfolds in Kashi, and the makers are looking to recreate the land of Shiva in Hyderabad, as it’s logistically difficult to can a film of this scale at real locations. The plot of SSR x SSMB is deeply rooted in the history of Kaashi, as the divine past leads to an unforgettable adventure in the present. Kashi serves itself as a very important character of the film."
