After RRR, every move by SS Rajamouli attracts nationwide attention. His collaboration with Mahesh Babu for SSMB29 has already become a hot topic.
Now, the makers have officially confirmed the film's first major event and it's already making headlines.
The event, titled Globe Trotter, is set to take place on November 15 at 6:30 PM at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad. It marks the first official public event for the film. But the surprising rule attached to it has left both fans and the media stunned.
According to reports, no cameras or mobile phones will be allowed inside the venue. Professional photography and videography are completely banned. Even journalists will not be permitted to record or live-stream the proceedings. The organisers have arranged special buses from Film Nagar to Ramoji Film City for the press, but once inside, everyone must experience the event live without filming a single frame.
This restriction has sparked wild speculation. What exactly is Rajamouli planning? Why invite the media and still impose such secrecy? And when the event will stream live on Jio Hotstar, what purpose does the ban serve?
Industry insiders believe the rule stems from Rajamouli's heightened caution after the mixed reactions to the Kumbha poster featuring Prithviraj Sukumaran. With SSMB29 reportedly being made on a ₹1000-crore scale, even a minor leak or poor-quality clip could lead to unwanted rumours online.
Sources hint that Globe Trotter may not be a conventional promotional event. Instead, it could be a controlled preview showcase in partnership with Jio Hotstar offering attendees a grand, emotional, and visually stunning presentation under strict confidentiality. Fans, even without a subscription, will reportedly be able to watch the event live on the platform.
By banning cameras, Rajamouli has only intensified the mystery. Could it be a concept teaser, a character reveal, or the first look at Mahesh Babu? The buzz in trade circles suggests something massive is being planned.
Known for turning every announcement into a spectacle, Rajamouli ensures that every reveal has weight and wonder. Fans will find out what unfolds behind the gates of Ramoji Film City on the evening of November 15, when Indian cinema's most secretive event finally begins.
