All about SSMB29

A few months ago, the makers wrapped up the Odisha schedule, which also included Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Soon after the scheduled wrap-up, she jetted off to Los Angeles to be with her daughter Malti Marie and husband Nick Jonas. Since then, she has been busy wrapping up her prior commitments before kicking off her next schedule of SSMB29.

According to a report in Siasat, the makers are gearing up for a major action sequence featuring 3,000 junior artists. Reports are rife that SS Rajamouli is also getting a hefty paycheck to direct the film. He is reportedly being paid ₹200 crore for the film, which is more than Mahesh Babu. According to Sacnilk, the jungle adventure film is reportedly being made on a budget of ₹1000 crore, which makes it the most expensive Indian film to date. The projected cost of the film is high even compared to Rajamouli's standards.

The makers are yet to announce the release date, but it is expected to hit the theatres on March 25, 2027. The date has special significance as the director's last hit RRR was also released on the same date in 2022. It went on to win an Oscar for the Best Original Song, Naatu Naatu and other international awards.
