A small yet intriguing buzz is making the rounds — is global beauty Priyanka Chopra set to romance superstar Mahesh Babu in Rajamouli’s upcoming blockbuster? According to the latest leaks, this might just be the case.
Normally, Rajamouli doesn’t give much space to romance in his films. Even if it’s there, it’s very subtle — like the scene between Prabhas and Tamannaah by the riverbank in Baahubali. Rajamouli’s focus has always been on character-driven narratives and gripping storylines. He has openly stated that if needed, he’d rather add an extra half-hour to the story than incorporate bold or intimate sequences, making it clear that bold romance is not his style.
This approach is evident in all his films — from Baahubali to RRR — where romance, if present, has only been a faint undercurrent. However, it appears things might be different for SSMB29.
The film, set in an African backdrop and centered on adventure and survival, might feature a special romantic angle. Rumor has it that Priyanka Chopra’s character appears like a lightning spark in Mahesh Babu’s solo, cowboy-style journey through the wilderness, providing moments of subtle yet captivating romance. The character design and Rajamouli’s scripting reportedly hint at this shift.
If Rajamouli has gone to the extent of clearly scripting a romance angle for Mahesh Babu, it means he has a strong reason for it — making it highly likely that he will break some of his own rules for this one.
With two shooting schedules already wrapped up and the team now progressing towards the third, this highly anticipated project will soon move to Kenya for its next leg. Will Rajamouli surprise the audience by introducing a memorable romance this time? Only time will tell!
