Due to the current political clashes in Kenya, the makers of SSMB29 are not sure if they would want to travel to Africa.
Priyanka Chopra, Mahesh Babu’s film is tentatively titled SSMB29.
While it was previously reported that SS Rajamouli, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Mahesh Babu are supposed to travel to Africa for the next shooting schedule of SSMB29, it looks like there might be a change in the plan now. If a report by Filmfare is to be believed, the team is reconsidering going ahead with the original plan of shooting in Kenya.
The entertainment portal claims that Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra were supposed to travel to East Africa in July second week for a crucial phase of filming for Rajamouli’s film. It was said that the filmmaker wanted to shoot intense action sequences in the wild and dense forests of Africa. However, due to the current political clashes in Kenya, the makers are not sure if they would want to travel to Africa. Reportedly, it is “unlikely” that SSMB29 shoot will take place in Kenya.
What Else Do We Know About SSMB29?
Director SS Rajamouli has been keeping the details of SSMB29 under wraps. However, for now, it is known that the film is expected to be an action-adventure drama in the vein of Indiana Jones, a genre Rajamouli’s father and veteran writer Vijayendra Prasad has also confirmed in several interviews.
Rajamouli even did a location recce in Kenya back in 2024, which suggests that at least a part of the movie will be filmed there. The shoot was initially expected to begin in mid-2024, but delays in pre-production pushed things further.
During a special screening of RRR in Japan earlier, Rajamouli had given a small but sweet update on the project. “His name is Mahesh Babu, he is a Telugu actor (people hoot). Looks like many of you already know him. He is very handsome. Hopefully, we finish the film a little bit fast and during the release, I will bring him here, and I’ll introduce him to you. I’m sure you will love him as well,” he had said.
SSMB29 will also star Priyanka Chopra in a key role.
