Leaked video from SS Rajamouli-Mahesh Babu’s film set confirms Prithviraj Sukumaran’s presence in SSMB 29
The clip not just revealed the rather rugged look of Mahesh Babu, but also confirmed the speculations that Prithviraj Sukumaran was playing the primary antagonist in SS Rajamouli's SSMB 29.
Leaked video from the sets of Mahesh Babu-SS Rajamouli's next creates controversy.Ever since SS Rajamouli made Eega, the filmmaker’s projects have grown in both scale and ambition. Now, he has embarked on what is billed to be the most expensive Indian film ever made. Starring Mahesh Babu in his maiden collaboration with Rajamouli, the film, tentatively titled SSMB 29, is currently on the floors. However, a rather disappointing spoke has been thrown into the wheels in motion.
The current schedule of the film is being shot in Odisha, and a leaked video from the sets of the much-anticipated movie has been doing the rounds. In the video, we can see Mahesh Babu walking on a barren and sandy terrain with wind blowing across him. And as he gradually walks to a particular point, he is forced on gunpoint to get on his knees in front of a suited-up villain on a wheelchair. The clip not just revealed the rather rugged look of Mahesh, but also confirmed the speculations that Prithviraj Sukumaran was playing the primary antagonist in the globe-trotting adventure.

With the character detailing of his leads out in the open, SS Rajamouli must not be a happy man, and there would be serious repercussions for the same. Such leaks are bound to happen when films are shot out of studios in real locations because of the advent of the digital era with everyone equipped with a smart phone. This will also push the makers of such big-budget films back into the studios and sets where the atmosphere and setting are mostly under their control. In fact, Rajamouli shot for a few scenes in Hyderabad, and even had a muhurath function to launch the film, and no visuals from these phases have been leaked.
Even though there were rumours that the visuals were from an ad film shoot, featuring Mahesh Babu, it was understood that the video was indeed a leak from the sets of SSMB 29.
Although the makers have remained tight-lipped about the cast of the film, there were speculations that Priyanka Chopra-Jonas was making her Telugu debut with SSMB 29. While the official announcement hasn’t been made, it is but confirmed that Priyanka is part of the big-budget adventure film. In fact, Priyanka Chopra is said to have joined the film, which is being shot in the Talamali Hills.
