The excitement surrounding SSMB 29, a collaboration between superstar Mahesh Babu and legendary director SS Rajamouli, has taken a huge leap with its launch. Fans of Mahesh Babu, who have been eagerly waiting for this moment for years, finally got to witness a special pooja ceremony that marked the official start of the film’s production. The anticipation for this project is so immense that it’s generating a buzz not just in Tollywood but across the entire country.
What makes this event particularly special is Mahesh Babu breaking his own long-standing tradition. For years, the superstar had refrained from attending the opening ceremonies of his films, preferring instead to send his wife, Namrata, in his place. However, for this landmark collaboration with Rajamouli, Mahesh made an exception and attended the pooja ceremony held at the aluminum factory. This change in habit has created a stir, especially since it is widely known that Mahesh rarely attends such events, even if he is available.
The dream of Mahesh Babu collaborating with Rajamouli has been in the making for over 15 years. It was back on May 22, 2010, when Mahesh Babu first shared on Twitter that he would be working with Rajamouli on a project. At that time, the collaboration seemed uncertain, as Rajamouli got busy with Baahubali and RRR. However, after more than a decade of anticipation, Mahesh Babu’s dream project is finally becoming a reality in 2025. This has delighted fans, who have been eagerly waiting for this combination to materialize.
As expected, the release of this project has stirred up a storm, with numerous rumors circulating about the cast and crew. The media, as well as the film industry, are awaiting Rajamouli’s official press meet for further details. There is a possibility that some updates might be shared during the trailer launch of Game Changer, but given Rajamouli’s secrecy, it’s likely that he will avoid revealing any major details at this stage. For now, fans of Mahesh Babu will have to make do with re-releases of his earlier films until 2027, as the wait for updates on this highly anticipated film continues.
