Priyanka Chopra’s Hyderabad Visit Sparks ‘SSMB29’ Casting Rumors

Priyanka Chopra’s recent arrival in Hyderabad has fueled rumors of her involvement in the much-anticipated film “SSMB29,” directed by acclaimed filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli and starring superstar Mahesh Babu. This project, which is being developed under the working title “SSMB29,” held a private puja ceremony earlier this month, but its filming schedule remains undisclosed. Mahesh Babu has already undergone a significant makeover for the film, sporting a long hairstyle and beard at recent public appearances.

For months, rumors have circulated that Priyanka Chopra might play the female lead opposite Mahesh Babu in this action-adventure drama. Following her marriage to singer Nick Jonas, Chopra has largely focused on Hollywood projects, making her potential return to Indian cinema under Rajamouli's direction particularly noteworthy.

Adding to the speculation, Priyanka shared a video on her Instagram account documenting her journey from Toronto to Dubai and finally to Hyderabad, accompanied by the background music of M.M. Keeravani’s score for "RRR." This choice of music has led fans to believe she is dropping hints about joining Rajamouli’s latest venture.

Writer Vijayendra Prasad has previously revealed that “SSMB29” will be a high-stakes adventure-action film featuring Hollywood technicians. The film is being produced on a grand scale by senior producer K.L. Narayana under the Durga Arts banner, with Oscar-winning composer M.M. Keeravani handling the music.

While no official announcement has been made about Priyanka Chopra’s involvement, her recent movements and social media activity have sparked excitement among fans eagerly awaiting updates on the project.
