Priyanka Chopra sent the internet into a frenzy on Wednesday after she was spotted landing in Hyderabad, instantly sparking fresh buzz around SSMB29 — the highly anticipated project starring Mahesh Babu and directed by S. S. Rajamouli. The actress did not officially confirm the purpose of her visit, but the timing has led fans to believe a major announcement may be on the way.

PC’s arrival fans the flames

Priyanka arrived quietly with her team, yet paparazzi and fan videos spread within minutes. Social media picked up speed after she posted a casual clip of Hyderabad streets on her Instagram story — tagging Mahesh Babu in a playful tone. Within hours, hashtags related to the film began trending.

This comes after weeks of back-and-forth banter between Rajamouli, Mahesh Babu and Priyanka on social media — interpreted by fans as coordinated pre-reveal teasing.

What’s happening with SSMB29?

SSMB29 is one of the biggest Indian films in development, rumoured to be a globe-trotting action-adventure. Rajamouli has confirmed the film will be “international-scale”, while Mahesh Babu called it his “most physically demanding role yet.”

With Priyanka Chopra now in Hyderabad, speculation has surged that:

  • She may be playing the female lead, or
  • The team could be filming a look test, or
  • The title reveal event is about to be announced.

Industry chatter suggests the makers are gearing up for a major public reveal soon.

Rajamouli hints, but doesn’t confirm

When asked recently about casting, Rajamouli kept things cryptic:

“Announcements have their own right time,” he said.
“Let the excitement build.”

This has only fueled the already blazing hype.

Why fans are paying attention

  • Priyanka Chopra rarely travels to Hyderabad without work commitments.
  • Rajamouli + Mahesh Babu is already a pan-India megaproject.
  • PC’s global profile could push the film’s reach to international markets.

Which is why this sighting has not been treated as casual.

Conclusion

Whether Priyanka is finalised as the lead or simply part of promotional build-up, her sudden Hyderabad arrival has supercharged the conversation around SSMB29. With Rajamouli teasing announcements, the stage is set for something big — possibly very soon.
