Rajamouli's SSMB29: It's a War, Not Just a Movie

Mirchi 9 0 years ago

What happens when SS Rajamouli teams up with Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran?

You get a film that's not just hyped-it's historic in the making.

SSMB29 is being called the biggest action film India has ever made.

But will it go beyond Baahubali and RRR? All signs say yes.A recent report by MidDay reveals a mind-blowing fact-3,000 people will train for an action block involving water, fire and total chaos.

A boat sequence will be the centre of it all, shot in May and June, with Hollywood stunt teams to choreograph the madness. Is it a film or a mission?

Even the shoot is being treated like a war plan. Priyanka Chopra will wrap up her portions first, followed by Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj, who's jumping straight to Kareena Kapoor Khan's Daayra after this.

And while it's a jungle adventure rooted in mythology, the team is going full throttle-recreating ancient Kashi in Hyderabad and shooting real forest scenes in Odisha and Africa.

But what's driving this ambition? Is Rajamouli out to conquer global markets again after RRR's Oscar buzz?

One thing's for sure: SSMB29 is not just a film. It's a phenomenon in the making. If it works, it can change how the world looks at Indian action films.
