SSMB29, one of Indian cinema’s most anticipated films, boasts a stellar lineup featuring director SS Rajamouli, superstar Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and music composer M. M. Keeravani. However, fans eagerly awaiting production updates may need to wait a bit longer, as the planned shooting schedule has hit an unexpected roadblock.
The film’s next major shooting phase was originally set to commence this month in Kenya. But according to a report from The New York Times, escalating unrest in the country has forced the team to postpone the schedule. Kenya has been witnessing intense protests in recent weeks, fueled by public outrage over the government’s mishandling of financial policies and deep-rooted corruption.
The violent clashes between protestors and security forces have led to the deaths of at least 38 people, including two children, just last week. A previous wave of demonstrations had already claimed 16 lives. Although the Kenya schedule was locked in two months ago, the worsening security situation has made it untenable for Rajamouli’s team to proceed as planned.
As a result, the production is unlikely to kick off this week. The team is now exploring alternative locations, with Tanzania and South Africa emerging as potential options. A revised schedule is expected to be finalized soon, ensuring the shoot resumes in a safer environment.
SSMB29 is also notable for a significant change in Rajamouli’s core crew. The acclaimed director has parted ways with his long-time collaborator, cinematographer K.K. Senthil Kumar, who was instrumental in the visual grandeur of RRR, Baahubali, Eega, and Magadheera. In his place, Rajamouli has brought in P. S. Vinod as the film’s cinematographer—a choice reportedly made by the director himself to bring a fresh visual style to this ambitious project.
