SSMB29 Update / This will be Mahesh Babu's role in Rajamouli's 1000 crore film!

Rajamouli is going to make the most expensive film of Indian cinema with a budget of 1000 crores. Mahesh Babu will be seen in a double role-one negative and one positive. The film is inspired by Ramayana, in which Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj will also be seen. Shooting is going to start in Kenya.

SSMB29 Update: Director S.S. Rajamouli is preparing to bring the most expensive film in the history of Indian cinema. The estimated budget of this grand project is Rs 1000 crore, which can prove to be a new milestone not only for India but also for Asian cinema. A lot of work is still left on the script and production of this ambitious film, but the revelations coming out about the film are constantly increasing the curiosity of the audience.

Inspired by Ramayana, but with a twist

The indications about the plot of the film are being told to have a deep connection with Ramayana. It is reported that Mahesh Babu's character will bring alive the historical incident like bringing Sanjivani booti. Earlier it was said that his role is inspired by Lord Hanuman, but the information coming now is even more shocking.

Mahesh Babu's double role - one hero, one anti-hero?

According to Cinejosh's report, Mahesh Babu can play a double role in the film. But it will not be the traditional 'good brother-bad brother'. According to sources, in the first half, his character will be seen in a negative shade, which will bring a twist to the story of the film. In the second half, he will transform his character and play a positive character-possibly the one who brings the Sanjivani booti. This transformation will not only show the depth of the character but will also take Mahesh Babu's acting range to a new height.

Global touch in the starcast

Apart from Mahesh Babu, the film also stars Priyanka Chopra, Prithviraj Sukumaran and R. Madhavan. It is rumoured that Priyanka will be seen in a grey or negative role. Chiyaan Vikram and Nana Patekar were approached for the film, but both of them turned it down. The next schedule of the shooting is planned in Kenya, while some portions have already been shot in Odisha and Hyderabad. The entire team has signed a strict confidentiality agreement to avoid leaks.

Release in 2027, followed by Mahabharata

Although the makers are still tight-lipped about the name and exact story of the film, it is certain that the film will be ready by mid-2026 and will release on the big screen in 2027. After this, Rajamouli will start working on his dream project 'Mahabharata', which he had announced earlier.

Rajamouli's cinema—every film a legacy

Rajamouli, who has made blockbusters like 'Bahubali' and 'RRR', has once again taken a step towards raising the level of Indian cinema to international standards. When the 1000 crore film hits the screens, it will not just be entertainment, but an epic amalgamation of technology, story and performance.
