Mahesh Babu’s Biggest Film Yet Starts Shooting in Tanzania with Priyanka Chopra
Superstar Mahesh Babu and global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas have officially kicked off the much-anticipated shoot for SSMB29, S.S. Rajamouli’s next big cinematic spectacle. The ambitious fantasy-action film is now rolling in Tanzania’s iconic Serengeti National Park, setting the stage for what is expected to be one of Indian cinema’s most visually stunning productions.

Joining Mahesh and Priyanka on this globe-spanning journey is acclaimed actor Prithviraj Sukumaran, as the trio gears up for a high-stakes, action-packed adventure rooted in Indian mythology but envisioned with global appeal. This marks Mahesh Babu’s first collaboration with blockbuster director Rajamouli, known for Baahubali and RRR, and it also marks Priyanka Chopra’s much-awaited return to Indian cinema.
The Serengeti, known for its raw natural beauty and cinematic landscapes, will serve as the backdrop for several intense action sequences. Initially, the film’s production team considered Kenya for these scenes, but due to political instability, plans shifted to Tanzania and eventually South Africa — locations that promise both stability and stunning visuals.
Written by Vijayendra Prasad — the legendary screenwriter behind RRR and Baahubali — SSMB29 is expected to blend ancient mythological themes with cutting-edge visuals and Rajamouli’s signature grand storytelling. While the plot remains tightly under wraps, early reports suggest a genre-defining fusion of fantasy, action, and mythology with a global narrative.
