One of India’s most anticipated cinematic events is growing bigger by the day. S.S. Rajamouli’s upcoming action-adventure spectacle, currently known as SSMB29, has just added another powerhouse performer to its already star-studded cast. The celebrated actor R. Madhavan has officially come on board, adding further weight to this ambitious globe-trotting saga that already stars Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Prithviraj Sukumaran in pivotal roles.
Against the verdant and wild environs of the Amazon and Africa, SSMB29 is not only a film—it’s a world cinematic event. Directed by Rajamouli and written by Vijayendra Prasad and Deva Katta in collaboration, the film has mammoth expectations attached to it, guaranteeing a dose of mythology, adventure, emotion, and spectacle.
Madhavan Enters the Adventure
The addition of Madhavan has generated massive buzz among cinephiles and fans. Acclaimed for his charismatic screen presence and adaptability—from Rocketry to Vikram Vedha—Madhavan’s joining is regarded as an ideal choice for the scale and narrative depth of the film.
While his role is under wraps, sources suggest that Madhavan will play a character who intersects deeply with the protagonist’s journey—potentially a rival archaeologist, a mysterious guide, or even a mythological symbol in human form. With Rajamouli’s knack for character layering, Madhavan’s role is expected to be meaty and transformative.
Mahesh Babu as a Hanuman-Inspired Archaeologist
The core of SSMB29 revolves around Mahesh Babu as a contemporary archaeologist with qualities greatly inspired by Lord Hanuman—loyalty, power, wisdom, and humility. The character sets out on an action-packed adventure spanning across continents and cultures only to find that his fate is connected to something much greater than what he first expects.
The character is said to be heavy with symbolism, tapping into physical power and spiritual equilibrium—attributes that appeal worldwide. Mahesh Babu’s body transformation for the role, such as physical training and rigorous drill, has already commenced, as his recent social media posts have unveiled.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas & Prithviraj Sukumaran Bring Global Appeal
The casting of Priyanka Chopra Jonas ensures international reach. After making her mark in Bollywood and Hollywood, Priyanka’s inclusion suggests a character of high authority or mystique. She may portray a fellow researcher, a political figure, or someone from an ancient order guarding a sacred secret—typical of Rajamouli’s penchant for writing strong, layered female characters.
Meanwhile, Prithviraj Sukumaran, known for his intense performances and refined cinematic choices, adds grit and intensity to the cast. Whether he plays an antagonist or a morally grey figure, fans can expect a riveting performance.
A Mythological Adventure Rooted in Action
SSMB29 is more than an action-filled jungle movie—it’s a film that taps heavily into Indian mythology, particularly the religious spirit of Hanuman. Though not based directly on a mythological adaptation, character design, narrative flow, and visual symbolism are likely to make references to old texts and belief systems.
The story promises an odyssey of self-discovery, one in which the hero starts off in pursuit of lost cultures and ends up discovering secret truths regarding life, belief, and destiny. Amazon and African jungles are metaphors for religious profundity, peril, and eternal wisdom.
Technical Grandeur on Global Scale
With S.S. Rajamouli as the director, scale and technical excellence expectations are through the roof. Renowned for revolutionizing the movie experience with Baahubali and RRR, Rajamouli is once again working with the best of the business:
- Music: Most probably to be scored by M.M. Keeravani, the winner of an Oscar for Naatu Naatu, whose reputation for creating emotionally charged scores precedes him.
- Cinematography: Reports indicate international cinematographers might be on board to photograph the expansive jungle and action set pieces with photorealistic clarity.
- VFX & Action: The film is likely to incorporate state-of-the-art VFX work, such as real-time jungle landscapes, ancient societies, and mythological imagery incorporated into action set pieces.
A Multi-Language Pan-World Release
Similar to RRR, SSMB29 will also be a pan-India and pan-world release, coming in several languages such as Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, and English. The presence of Priyanka Chopra and Madhavan—both of whom are well known abroad—also validates the worldwide potential of the film.
Lyca Productions and other big world studios are reportedly in negotiations for international distribution, including IMAX and Dolby Cinema formats.
