A Rajamouli film is never just about grand visuals—it’s about immersive storytelling and layered cultural depth. And with SSMB29, the visionary director is once again pushing boundaries. Starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, the film recently wrapped up a schedule in the scenic hilly terrains of Odisha, and it turns out the location wasn’t chosen just for its aesthetic appeal. The story reportedly has deep-rooted connections to the region’s culture, and Rajamouli is committed to authentically weaving it into the narrative.
As part of this cultural integration, Priyanka Chopra was asked to learn Mayurbhanj Chhau, a traditional dance form native to Odisha. Under the mentorship of renowned artist Vicky Bhartiya, Priyanka trained rigorously in the classical style. Notably, the film will feature three distinct versions of the dance, each carefully embedded into key points of the storyline—not just as artistic embellishments, but as pivotal elements of the plot.
Speaking about the experience, Vicky Bhartiya praised Priyanka’s dedication: “She was completely focused and eager to learn. You could see she wasn’t just doing it for the camera—she genuinely wanted to get it right.” This level of commitment is rare, especially from a mainstream global star for a role that demands deep cultural immersion.
While earlier reports hinted that SSMB29 would revolve around an African jungle adventure or a treasure hunt, the introduction of Odisha’s cultural components hints at a broader, more intricate narrative. Whether it’s dense jungles, lost relics, or forgotten rituals, Rajamouli appears to be building a cinematic world where mythology, culture, and action seamlessly blend.
One thing is clear: Priyanka Chopra’s role is no mere cameo. Her effort to master a demanding classical dance form signals that her character is integral to the film’s core. With Rajamouli at the helm and such dedication from the cast, SSMB29 promises to be yet another landmark in Indian cinema.
