Tollywood, the Telugu movie industry, is ready to take a colossal leap into the international arena in 2027. The triumph of movies such as Baahubali and RRR had already shown that language is not an issue anymore if gripping storytelling and impactful performances drive it. Tollywood is now set to shatter all limits with three huge international films starring its biggest stars—Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, and Prabhas.
2027 promises to be a watershed year in the history of Indian filmmaking. With SSMB29, AA22, and Spirit, Telugu cinema is poised to conquer international markets like never before. These three films are not simply pan-Indian movies—they’re international in scope, vision, and ambition.
SSMB29: Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu’s Global Adventure
Leading the pack is SSMB29, the highly anticipated collaboration between action hero Mahesh Babu and Oscar-winning filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli. Having created the global phenomenon of RRR, Rajamouli is now planning to craft another work of cinema magic. For this one, he has joined hands with Mahesh Babu for what is billed as an “adventure action drama at a worldwide level.”
The movie is already on floors, and the shoot is going on with high-tech equipment, foreign stunt teams, and international locations. Sources indicate that SSMB29 will be filmed from across Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia, offering a world-trotting story based on mythological adventures similar to Indiana Jones.
Mahesh Babu also went through rigorous physical training for the character, and preliminary news indicates that the film will have stunning action sequences, an emotional father-son angle, and a powerful environmental message. The project is being made with the aim of dubbing it in more than 10 international languages, such as English, French, and Spanish—making it one of the first Indian films carefully crafted for the global audience.
AA22: Allu Arjun Meets Atlee for a Massy International Treat
Waiting in line is AA22, the massy pairing of Icon Star Allu Arjun and blockbuster maker Atlee. Following the national frenzy of Pushpa: The Rise and Atlee’s record-breaking hit with Jawan, hopes are running high for their first outing together.
The movie is set to hit floors in June 2025, and the pre-production hype already hints at a humongous budget, top technicians, and a distinctive storyline that combines mass action with a robust emotional core. AA22 is designed as a pan-Indian spectacle with international appeal, and the producers are not leaving any stone behind to make it international-friendly.
Going by reports, AA22 will have high-drama quotient, fast-paced action, and Allu Arjun’s signature swag, topped with Atlee’s mass-appeal directorial acumen. The makers are already in negotiations with global studios so that it can be released simultaneously in overseas markets such as the USA, Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
With the combined fandom of Allu Arjun and Atlee throughout the nation and internationally, AA22 is ready to be among the most massive releases of 2027, particularly for worldwide fans of South Indian cinema.
Spirit: Prabhas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga Aim Big
The third behemoth with an eye on a 2027 worldwide release is Spirit, a high-octane team-up between Pan-India hero Prabhas and Arjun Reddy, Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film, which is in the pre-production stage, is being said to be an emotional action drama with strong emotional undertones.
Though specifics of the plot are kept secret, sources indicate that Spirit will delve into the narrative of a tough, emotionally tormented cop and touch upon issues of justice, mental trauma, and social deterioration. The film’s stylized filmmaking and psychological depth are poised to resonate with audiences globally.
Prabhas, whose fan following ranges from Japan to America, will undergo a gigantic makeover for the character. The movie is being produced with the global audience in mind, and negotiations are on with international streaming platforms and distributors for a broad theatrical and digital release.
Spirit will start its shoot in September 2025 and will include global action coordinators, Hollywood-class production design, and a strong musical score that adds to its emotional and action-oriented scenes.
2027: A Defining Year for Tollywood on the World Stage
What is so remarkable about 2027 is not merely the size of these three movies, but their collective desire to go beyond national shores with Telugu cinema. Each one of these three ventures—SSMB29, AA22, and Spirit—is being produced with overseas release plans, multilingual dialogue, cross-cultural subject matter, and extensive distribution schemes.
This collective push to position Tollywood as a global powerhouse mirrors the evolution of cinema as a whole. Today, audiences across the world are consuming content from Korea, Japan, Spain, and India. In this landscape, Telugu cinema has emerged as a formidable force, and the trio of films releasing in 2027 could mark the beginning of a new era for Indian cinema abroad.
Producers of the three films have also focused on international marketing efforts, such as global premieres, foreign fan events, and co-productions with foreign talent and studios, to guarantee these films go beyond the diaspora and gain a place in mainstream global cinema.
