Epic Period Sequences Revealed

The report quoted a close source to the development as saying, "Mahesh Babu will be seen as Lord Ram in key portions of the film. The periodic sequences, lasting around eight minutes, will transport audiences hundreds of years back in time, where he takes on mighty Rakshasas."

The source further added that the movie sequences will give the superstar a never-seen-before divine avatar. The source described this as 'goosebump stuff' that will elevate Mahesh’s larger-than-life on-screen presence.

Filming in Kenya

Rajamouli is currently shooting significant portions of the film in Kenya. The country’s Prime Cabinet Secretary, Musalia W Mudavadi, recently disclosed that 95% of the African scenes for SSMB29 will be filmed there. Rajamouli himself praised the experience, calling it 'one of the most memorable moments' of his career.
