In what could be a major casting breakthrough, acclaimed filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli is reportedly in discussions with Tamil superstar Chiyaan Vikram for a significant role in his much-anticipated next film starring Mahesh Babu. Tentatively titled SSMB29, the project is being billed as a globe-trotting action-adventure with massive international ambitions.
According to sources close to the production, Rajamouli has initiated talks with Vikram for a pivotal role, though nothing has been officially confirmed yet. “Rajamouli is keen on casting someone who can match Mahesh Babu in screen presence and star power. Vikram, with his tremendous range and strong pan-India following, is a natural fit,” the source revealed.
This development follows recent buzz around Hollywood star Priyanka Chopra potentially joining the cast to enhance the film’s global appeal. By bringing together iconic names from different industries, Rajamouli seems intent on crafting a truly star-studded spectacle.
Vikram, already popular among Telugu audiences through hits like Aparichitudu, I, and the Ponniyin Selvan series, adds significant value to the ensemble. His fan base extends across languages, making him a strategic choice for what is expected to be a multilingual and globally marketed production.
“If the deal is finalized, the on-screen chemistry between Mahesh Babu and Vikram could be a cinematic highlight. The only remaining discussions reportedly center around schedules and financial terms, especially in the wake of Vikram’s last film Veera Dheera Sooran 2 having a modest box office response,” the source added.
As expectations mount for Rajamouli’s next blockbuster, this potential casting coup could elevate SSMB29 to another level of grandeur and excitement.
