S.S. Rajamouli-Mahesh Babu’s Film Likely to Launch in January 2025

Summary
S.S. Rajamouli’s highly anticipated film with Mahesh Babu, tentatively titled *SSMB29*, is expected to launch in January 2025, with shooting beginning in March 2025. Written by Vijayendra Prasad, the film is reportedly the most expensive Indian production ever and will be a two-part globetrotting adventure, set partly in the Amazon rainforest. The crew includes regular collaborators like costume designer Rama Rajamouli and composer M.M. Keeravani, while P.S. Vinod replaces Senthil Kumar as cinematographer. Following Rajamouli’s global success with *RRR*, *SSMB29* is poised to be a major pan-Indian and international venture.

The highly anticipated collaboration between director S.S. Rajamouli and superstar Mahesh Babu, tentatively titled *SSMB29*, is reportedly set to be launched in January 2025, with filming to begin in March 2025.

Billed as an international adventure film, *SSMB29* promises to be the most expensive Indian film ever, scripted by Rajamouli’s father, Vijayendra Prasad. The movie is described as a globetrotting saga, with a significant portion of the story unfolding in the Amazon rainforest. Sources indicate that the film will be released in two parts to do justice to its ambitious narrative.

The crew includes several regular collaborators from Rajamouli’s previous projects, such as costume designer Rama Rajamouli and Oscar-winning composer M.M. Keeravani (*Naatu Naatu*). However, cinematographer P.S. Vinod replaces Rajamouli’s longtime collaborator Senthil Kumar for this project.

Given Rajamouli’s international acclaim following *RRR* (2022), *SSMB29* is expected to be a major pan-Indian project with significant global appeal.
