Director SS Rajamouli continues to keep fans of Mahesh Babu on edge with surprise drops from his highly anticipated project, SSMB 29. After recently unveiling Prithviraj Sukumaran’s first look and unexpectedly releasing the first single “Sanchaari,” the ace filmmaker has now stunned everyone by revealing Priyanka Chopra’s striking first look — without any prior announcement.
Priyanka Chopra as ‘Mandakini’
In the poster, Priyanka Chopra is seen in a power-packed avatar, firing bullets while dressed in a saree — a blend of traditional grace and raw power. She portrays Mandakini, a character Rajamouli described as “The woman who redefined Indian cinema on the global stage.”
The first look quickly went viral across social media, with fans hailing the global star’s comeback to Indian cinema in such a powerful role.
A Pan-World Project
Produced by KL Narayana under the Durga Arts banner, SSMB 29 is being mounted on an unprecedented scale, with plans for multilingual releases across major international markets. Music maestro MM Keeravani is composing the soundtrack for the film.
Industry insiders hint that the film could mark a new cinematic universe from Rajamouli, blending myth, adventure, and global storytelling — with Mahesh Babu at its core.
Fans Gear Up for November 15
With Rajamouli dropping back-to-back surprises, anticipation for November 15, the date teased for the next major reveal, has reached fever pitch. Fans are now eagerly speculating whether it could be the teaser launch or a behind-the-scenes glimpse from the film.
