SSMB29: SS Rajamouli's Odisha shooting plans in Bhubaneswar outskirts or Koraput? Fans demand updates
SS Rajamouli's globetrotting action-adventure SSMB29 (working title) has been creating a significant buzz since the announcement. According to earlier reports, with reference to the Indian epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharat, the jungle adventure thriller is touted to be an epic cinematic experience, with a budget estimated to be around Rs 1000 crore.
Though the makers haven't yet made an official announcement regarding the cast, Rajamouli has already filmed some major sequences in Hyderabad and Odisha's Koraput with Mahesh Babu, Prithviraj Sukumaran and Priyanka Chopra. According to the recent buzz, after wrapping up two schedules, the makers are gearing up for the third schedule.
According to earlier reports, Rajamouli had plans to shoot some crucial sequences in Bhubaneswar outskirts. Moreover, it is speculated that the Baahubali filmmaker could possibly shoot in forest and mountain areas. Considering the need for natural settings of forests and caves for action-adventure, multiple such places are available in Bhubaneswar's outskirts. However, there is no information about the exact location.
On the other hand, speculations are rife that Rajamouli and his team might again plan a schedule in Koraput. Notably, Rajamouli's team had obtained permission till March end for shooting in different locations of Koraput including Talamali hilltop, surrounded by forests, valleys, and brooks. Reportedly, some adventure sequences were filmed in the forest as well. However, the team wrapped up their schedule in Koraput much earlier than targets. Thus, it can be expected that the team might return to Koraput to film more sequences.
According to the latest report by Cinejosh, the team is gearing up for the third schedule in Hyderabad. Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu is on a family vacation to Italy. His daughter Sitara shared glimpses from their Roman holiday. On the other hand, Priyanka Chopra is spending quality time with her family. Amid this, reports suggest that Rajamouli is gearing up to make an official announcement about SSMB29 with a short video.
Amid the growing excitement, fans have been urging the makers to make an official announcement and share updates on SSMB29. Meanwhile, other big-ticket movies are consistently making headlines, including Ram Charan's Peddi, Allu Arjun's project with Atlee, tentatively titled AA22×A6, Jr NTR's NTR-Neel with Prashanth Neel, Prabhas' The Raja Saab, Spirit and more, Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Malu, and more. The updates and Rajamouli's silence are making Mahesh Babu's fans feel restless.
Taking to social media, fans have started urging the makers to break the silence and share at least a small update- cast confirmation, a release date or a simple poster.
