Is Mahesh Babu’s 1000 Crore Film Connected to SS Rajamouli’s Dream Project?

After the monumental successes of films like ‘Baahubali’, ‘Baahubali 2’, and ‘RRR’, fans eagerly anticipate the next project from the director S.S. Rajamouli. His popularity extends beyond India, captivating audiences worldwide. Recently, there has been growing speculation about his collaboration with superstar Mahesh Babu, as the two have been rumored to be working on a film together. Currently, this project is referred to as SSMB29, though the official title remains undisclosed, fueling excitement and discussions on social media.

Behind the Buzz: Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu’s Collaboration

The speculation intensified with a recent social media post by visual development artist T.P. Vijayan, who is also involved in the film. He shared an image of golden eagle wings, captioning it with “#SSMB29 #SSMB29DIARIES.” This post sparked a flurry of comments and assumptions, leading many to connect it with Rajamouli’s long-cherished dream project, ‘Garuda’. Onlookers began to question whether the movie featuring Mahesh Babu is indeed ‘Garuda’, leading to widespread online discussions.

Social Media Reactions

The reactions on social media have been vibrant and varied. Users have posed questions, with one asking, “Is this ‘Garuda’?” and another commenting, “Something big is coming, ‘Garuda’.” Some fans have even redesigned Vijayan’s shared image to resemble posters for ‘Garuda’. Despite the excitement, reports clarify that while the conversations are lively, SSMB29 and ‘Garuda’ are distinct projects entirely.

Clarity on the Connection Between SSMB29 and Garuda

According to a recent report from Galat, SSMB29 and ‘Garuda’ are not the same film; they are separate endeavors. The report also indicated that while there is speculation about the film’s release in 2028, such assertions may be premature. The movie is currently in its pre-production phase, and an official announcement regarding it is expected by the end of this year. As for ‘Garuda’, there have been no recent updates, although Rajamouli has expressed his desire to work on this project for some time.

What to Expect from SSMB29

While we await more information from the filmmakers, whispers regarding the film’s storyline have surfaced. It is anticipated that this action-adventure film will draw from Hindu mythology, with Mahesh Babu reportedly cast in the role of Hanuman. The film is poised to become one of India’s most expensive productions, with a budget estimated to reach an astounding ₹1,000 crores (approximately $120 million). The financial commitment underlines the high expectations and ambitious plans of the creative team behind this project.

Conclusion

As excitement builds surrounding both SSMB29 and the possibility of ‘Garuda’, fans remain eager for updates on these projects. The potent combination of Rajamouli’s filmmaking prowess and Mahesh Babu’s star power is sure to create a cinematic experience that hits new heights in Indian cinema.
