Rajamouli's Ambitious Global Adventure with Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra Delayed to 2027
15 Nov
Summary
- SSMB29 release pushed from 2026 to March 2027
- Extensive global locations and VFX work require more time
- Mahesh Babu plays explorer, Priyanka Chopra Jonas is female lead
As of November 15, 2025, the release of SS Rajamouli's upcoming film SSMB29 has been pushed back from a planned 2026 release to March 25, 2027. The delay is due to the massive scale and global ambition of the project, which requires the team to travel to multiple countries and handle extensive visual effects work.
Initially, there was speculation that the film might hit theaters by late 2026, but Rajamouli has now decided to take his time to ensure the movie meets global standards. The director is known for his grand vision and attention to detail, and it seems he wants to apply the same approach to this globe-trotting action adventure.
The cast of SSMB29 is headlined by Mahesh Babu, who plays a bold explorer inspired by African folklore and classic Hollywood adventurers like Indiana Jones. This marks a significant shift from his previous roles. Joining him are Priyanka Chopra Jonas, making her comeback to Indian cinema, and Prithviraj Sukumaran as the sharp and calculating villain.
With big names, grand ideas, and Rajamouli's signature ambition, SSMB29 is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of the decade. Fans will have to wait a little longer, but the team is confident the final product will be worth the wait.
