Buzz around SSMB29, the much-anticipated collaboration between Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli, has intensified with reports that R. Madhavan has joined the Kenya schedule of the film. Though the makers have not officially confirmed his role, strong speculation suggests Madhavan could be playing Mahesh Babu’s father. Earlier, names like Nana Patekar and Vikram were also floated for this key role, indicating that casting decisions in this film are far from casual — especially with Rajamouli at the helm.
After wrapping major schedules in Odisha and Hyderabad, the team has now moved to Kenya, shooting in exotic and real forest locations like Amboseli National Park. High-intensity action sequences and chase scenes are currently being filmed with local permissions secured, hinting at the scale and ambition of the production. As is typical of Rajamouli’s style, tight security surrounds the shoot, and only occasional leaks are surfacing.
The storyline remains under wraps, but strong whispers suggest the film draws inspiration from the ‘Sanjeevani’ element in the Ramayana, possibly reimagined as a global quest. Much of the narrative is said to unfold against African backdrops, with Mahesh Babu sporting a radical new avatar. In fact, some unverified yet intriguing rumors hint at sequences involving dinosaur hunting, pointing to an adventurous and genre-blending storyline far from conventional Telugu cinema.
With a staggering ₹1000 crore budget, SSMB29 is being bankrolled by K.L. Narayana under the Durga Arts banner. Music is being composed by M.M. Keeravani, adding further weight to the already star-studded project. Names like Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran are also reportedly associated with the film, reinforcing the project’s pan-Indian — and possibly global — ambitions.
Whether or not R. Madhavan’s role is officially confirmed, his appearance on set has sparked further curiosity, signaling that SSMB29 is shaping up to be one of Indian cinema’s boldest and most exciting ventures.
