Mahesh Babu is known for taking breaks from his shoots to travel abroad and spend quality time with his family. He’s often mentioned in interviews how important family time is to him and how these breaks help him maintain a sense of normalcy. When his film with SS Rajamouli began filming in January this year, the director humorously shared an AI-generated video, joking that he had taken Mahesh’s passport and “captured” him. In response, Mahesh playfully quipped, “Okkasaari commit ayithe naa maata nene vinanu” (I don’t listen to myself once I commit).
Details about SSMB 29 remain under wraps, but it is known to be a jungle adventure drama. Mahesh Babu stars alongside Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran in pivotal roles. A recent outdoor shoot took place in Odisha, though the team faced several leaks revealing key plot details. The film’s story has been penned by Rajamouli’s father, Vijayendra Prasad. However, the official announcement regarding the complete cast and crew is still awaited.
