Priyanka Chopra Reaches Hyderabad as SS Rajamouli–Mahesh Babu Film Buzz Peaks, Big Reveal Teased

Priyanka Chopra Lands in Hyderabad as Buzz Around SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu’s SSMB29 Grows Louder

The excitement around SS Rajamouli’s next cinematic venture, tentatively titled ‘SSMB29’, has reached fever pitch as Priyanka Chopra Jonas arrived in Hyderabad earlier this week. The global star was spotted at the airport, greeting fans and the media before heading off with her team — sparking fresh anticipation for the long-awaited Rajamouli–Mahesh Babu collaboration.

The film, currently under wraps and informally dubbed ‘Globetrotter’, marks Priyanka Chopra’s first collaboration with superstar Mahesh Babu and visionary filmmaker SS Rajamouli.

Priyanka’s Hyderabad Arrival Fuels Speculation

Dressed in understated travel attire, Priyanka was all smiles as she made her way through Hyderabad airport. Sharing glimpses of her journey on Instagram, the actor captioned her in-flight selfie, “And we’re off again, destination exciting.” She later paid tribute to singer Celine Dion, writing, “Queen always and forever @celinedion.”

Shortly after landing, she posted a brief clip captioned “Streets of Hyderabad” and tagged co-star Mahesh Babu, adding a playful laughing emoji — enough to set social media abuzz with speculation that filming for the project has quietly resumed.

Playful Banter Between the Stars Builds Hype

The anticipation around SSMB29 grew stronger following a lighthearted social exchange between the film’s lead stars and director.

Mahesh Babu took to X (formerly Twitter) to remind Rajamouli about his earlier commitment to reveal details in November, writing:

“It’s November already @ssrajamouli (eyes emoji). First things first, you promised us something in November. Please keep up your word.”

Rajamouli replied teasingly:

“It has just started, Mahesh. We’ll slowly reveal one by one.”

The conversation didn’t stop there. Mahesh then tagged Priyanka, hinting at her behind-the-scenes updates, to which she humorously responded:

“Helloooo!! Hero!!! You want me to leak all the stories you share with me on set?”

Rajamouli joined the banter, replying:

“Why did you reveal PC @urstrulyMahesh You ruined the surprise!”

The witty back-and-forth between the trio has only intensified excitement among fans awaiting the film’s official reveal.

A Global Vision in the Making

According to early reports, SSMB29 will be an action-adventure film set across multiple continents, blending Rajamouli’s grand visual storytelling with Mahesh Babu’s dynamic screen presence.

Though plot details remain under strict confidentiality, sources suggest that the project may explore themes of exploration, legacy, and humanity’s connection with nature — an ambitious cinematic concept in line with Rajamouli’s reputation for pushing creative boundaries.

The collaboration marks Rajamouli’s first directorial venture after the global success of RRR (2022), which earned India international acclaim and an Oscar for Best Original Song.

Priyanka’s Expanding Global Slate

Alongside SSMB29, Priyanka Chopra continues to diversify her international career. She will next appear in Citadel Season 2, reprising her role as Nadia Sinh, and is set to headline the action-adventure film ‘The Bluff’ with Karl Urban, where she portrays a 19th-century Caribbean pirate.

Her involvement in SSMB29 signals a major return to Indian cinema, blending her global stardom with one of South India’s most ambitious projects.

What’s Next

While Rajamouli, Mahesh Babu, and Priyanka remain tight-lipped, industry insiders anticipate an official title reveal and concept teaser before the end of November. With social media teasing in full swing, fans are counting down to what could be one of India’s most anticipated cinematic announcements of 2025.

As Rajamouli hinted, “It’s just begun.”
