Okay, so picture this: it's November 1, 2025, and fans are buzzing for any scrap of information about SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu's super-secret project, SSMB29. The director had apparently promised an update this month, and Mahesh Babu, ever the man of his word (or perhaps just impatient like the rest of us!), decided to take matters into his own hands.
He kicked off a hilarious Twitter (X) exchange by tagging Rajamouli and simply stating, "It's November already @ssrajamouli." Rajamouli, playing coy, responded in Telugu, asking which Movies Mahesh planned to review this month. Mahesh, not missing a beat, playfully jabbed back, "Your 'forever in making' Mahabharata, Sir... First things first, you promised us something in November. Please keep up your word."
The banter continued with Rajamouli promising to "slowly reveal one by one." But Mahesh, clearly on a mission, wasn't having it. He quipped, "How slow sir...? Shall we start in 2030? Fyi, our Desi girl has been posting every street of Hyderabad on her Insta stories since January @priyankachopra."
And just like that, the internet exploded! Priyanka Chopra, the "Desi Girl" herself, jumped into the conversation, teasing Mahesh, "Helloooo!! hero!!! You want me to leak all the stories you share with me on set? Mind lo fix aithe blind ga esestha..." (Roughly translating to: "Once I've made up my mind, I'll do it blindly/without hesitation.")
The Hilarious Exchange That Spilled the Beans:
Mahesh Babu: "Fyi, our Desi girl has been posting every street of Hyderabad on her Insta stories since January @priyankachopra."
Priyanka Chopra: "Helloooo!! hero!!! You want me to leak all the stories you share with me on set? Mind lo fix aithe blind ga esestha.."
SS Rajamouli: "Why did you reveal PC @urstrulyMahesh ... You ruined the surprise!"
Mahesh Babu: "Surprise aaa? You mean to say, @PrithviOfficial is also a surprise?"
Prithviraj Sukumaran: "Sir @ssrajamouli, I'm running out of alibis for these Hyderabad 'vacations'. If I keep this up any longer, my family will start doubting me."
Rajamouli mock-fumed, "Why did you reveal PC @urstrulyMahesh ... You ruined the surprise!" Mahesh wasn't done yet, cheekily adding, "Surprise aaa? You mean to say, @PrithviOfficial is also a surprise?" This brought Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran into the mix, humorously complaining about running out of "alibis for these Hyderabad 'vacations'."
The director, with feigned frustration, tweeted, "@urstrulyMahesh ... now you ruined everything." Mahesh suggested a truce: "Put out something tomorrow, which everyone already knows. You can still call it a surprise." Rajamouli agreed, but with a twist: delaying Mahesh's first look as "penalty for excess sarcasm." Prithviraj's witty sign-off, "I know, sir! You love your villains the most!" perfectly rounded off the viral exchange, leaving fans absolutely thrilled and thoroughly entertained.
Unveiling the Stellar Cast and Creative Minds Behind Rajamouli's Vision
So, the cat's out of the bag (thanks, Mahesh!): SSMB29 boasts a truly incredible lineup. Leading the charge is none other than Superstar Mahesh Babu, who has been working on this ambitious project for nearly a year. Joining him is global icon Priyanka Chopra, confirmed as the female lead, marking a monumental collaboration. And adding a layer of intrigue, Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran is set to play a crucial role, hinted to be the antagonist.
Behind the camera, the dream team is equally impressive. The film is helmed by the visionary director SS Rajamouli, known for his epic storytelling and grandeur in blockbusters like Baahubali and RRR. The story has been crafted by the experienced Vijayendra Prasad, while Dea Katta is handling the dialogues. Producing this massive venture is KL Narayana under the Durga Arts banner, with the legendary MM Keeravani composing the music, promising an unforgettable cinematic experience.
A Grand Global Reveal Event: What to Expect from the #GlobeTrotter Launch
Mark your calendars! The first official reveal for SSMB29, tentatively known as 'Globetrotter', is scheduled for November 15, 2025, at 6 PM onwards. This grand event will take place at the iconic Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. We're expecting nothing less than a spectacular show, with reports suggesting Rajamouli is planning to have a whopping one lakh people in attendance!
During this highly anticipated launch, the official title of the film will finally be unveiled – with 'Varanasi' being a hot rumor circulating amongst fans. Alongside the title, a special video glimpse or first look teaser from the film will be released, giving us our first real peek into this cinematic world. The entire star cast, including Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and director SS Rajamouli, are expected to grace the event, making it an unmissable gathering.
But here's the kicker: for the very first time in Indian cinema history, this entire event will be livestreamed exclusively on the popular OTT platform JioHotstar! This is a groundbreaking move, allowing fans worldwide to witness the launch firsthand. It also hints that JioHotstar might have secured the exclusive OTT rights for the film itself, though official confirmation on that is still pending. The scale of this digital launch underscores the film's global ambitions from day one.
Diving Deeper into the Globe-Trotting Jungle Adventure of SSMB29
So, what kind of epic journey are we in for with SSMB29? The film is officially described as a "globe-trotting jungle adventure." Imagine Mahesh Babu as a rugged explorer, reminiscent of the legendary Indiana Jones! This sounds like a thrilling blend of action, adventure, and perhaps some archaeological mystique, perfectly suited for Rajamouli's larger-than-life vision.
Filming has reportedly taken place across diverse and exotic locations, including various parts of India and the lush forests of Kenya. Interestingly, a massive set resembling Varanasi, one of the oldest cities in the world, has been constructed at Ramoji Film City. This impressive set, reportedly costing around Rs 50 crore, was built to avoid the logistical challenges and crowds that filming in the real Varanasi would entail, showing the makers' dedication to scale and authenticity. The rumored title 'Varanasi' certainly aligns with this detail, hinting at a story steeped in ancient Indian lore and adventure.
The official X handle of Mahesh Babu's cinema group, AMB Cinemas, also dropped a teaser featuring a lone man (presumably Mahesh Babu) facing a trishul, with the caption "It's officially the era of #noveMBerwillbehiSStoRic." The accompanying text, "The roar of the trishul will echo soon," further fuels speculation about a spiritual or mythological undertone to this grand adventure.
Looking Ahead: The Ambitious Worldwide Release of Rajamouli's Next Cinematic Masterpiece
With an unprecedented scale and a stellar cast, SS Rajamouli's SSMB29 is poised to be a truly global cinematic event. The film is planned for a massive worldwide release across an astonishing 120 countries on March 25, 2027. This expansive release strategy underscores the makers' ambition to reach a global audience, building on the international success of Rajamouli's previous works.
The November 15th reveal event is just the beginning of what promises to be an extensive and exciting promotional campaign. The combination of Rajamouli's masterful storytelling, Mahesh Babu's immense popularity, Priyanka Chopra's global appeal, and Prithviraj Sukumaran's commanding presence sets the stage for a film that could redefine Indian cinema on the world stage. All eyes are now on Hyderabad as we eagerly await the first official glimpse into this "forever in making" (as Mahesh Babu put it) adventure!
