SSMB29 is one of the most anticipated projects at the moment. Directed by SS Rajamouli, the film is touted to be a globe-trotting adventure starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead.

Priyanka Chopra learnt Mayurbhanj Chhau dance for SSMB29
Taking to Instagram, celebrity choreographer Vicky Bhartiya dropped a shoutout post for Priyanka Chopra. The former, who is a trained professional in Odisha's dance form Mayurbhanj Chhau, revealed his special experience of working with the diva.
Sharing some candid selfies of them, Vicky highlighted how Priyanka had shown unmatched energy during the rehearsals and then actually performed them during the shoots.
An excerpt from his long message read, 'Working with @priyankachopra ma'am was truly a special experience. She's smart, funny, strong, and so warm with everyone around her. Watching her energy during the dance rehearsals and shoots was genuinely inspiring—she gives her all and makes it look effortless.'
What is Mayurbhanj Chhau dance form?
For the untold, the Mayurbhanj Chhau dance originates from Odisha and is a semi-classical dance form. It is slightly different from the other Chhau forms, since it does not require the performers to wear elaborate face masks.
This is believed to have its roots in mock fights and drills used to train soldiers of the region and has incorporated influences from martial arts and other tribal traditions.
SSMB29's next schedule to be shot in Kenya?
As per one of the latest reports by Telugu Chitraalu, the team of SSMB29 will be reaching Kenya for shooting one of the key schedules of the movie.
The report claimed that these will be the portions where the character introductions of Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra will be shot. These will be quite crucial to the plot since they will bring a major turning point in the narrative.

Dhanashree Verma responds to Yuzvendra Chahal's 'Be Your Own Sugar Daddy' moment post-divorce

Dhanashree Verma has been in the spotlight lately due to her personal life. Following her divorce from Yuzvendra Chahal, she continues to make headlines. Recently, Chahal made some revelations about their separation during a podcast, to which Dhanashree responded in her own way. After parting ways with Yuzvendra Chahal, the dancer and choreographer is now enjoying her single life. She recently shared a few pictures on her Instagram handle, where she can be seen enjoying a spiritual trip to Dubai. In these viral pictures, Dhanashree Verma was seen visiting a Hindu temple in Dubai. Amidst the ups and downs of her personal life, this spiritual trip proved to be very helpful in bringing her peace of mind. How did Dhanashree Verma react to Yuzvendra Chahal's 'Sugar Daddy' moment? Meanwhile, Chahal spoke about the divorce and mentioned wearing a T-shirt with 'Be Your Own Sugar Daddy' written on it during a podcast. Dhanashree, on the other hand, responded through her photos and captions, without saying anything directly. She shared a series of pictures in which she is seen eating local street food, taking a stroll during the golden hour, and visiting a Hindu temple. This post came at a time when Chahal's statement had reignited discussions about their separation. The caption read, 'Back in Dubai after what feels like a lifetime… Growing up here gave me so many core memories and seeing how much the city has evolved was both surreal and heartwarming. One of the highlights was visiting this beautiful Hindu temple, peaceful, powerful, and a reminder of how far this city has come in embracing culture and community ♥️🙏🏻 Grateful for the growth, the roots, and the reconnection'. Why did Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma file for divorce? Chahal spoke about the divorce for the first time in Raj Shamani's podcast. He explained why he wore a 'Be Your Own Sugar Daddy' T-shirt on the day of the final hearing of the divorce. Chahal said, 'I did not want to do drama, I just wanted to give a message, and I did.' Without taking any name, Chahal indicated that he wore this T-shirt because of something that happened in front of him. He said, 'Because something happened in front of him… I was not in the mood earlier.' Chahal also added, 'Now take care of it, now I don't care about anyone,' meaning he took this step to get closure for himself, not to create controversy. Dhanashree has not yet given any direct response to Chahal's statement. Earlier this year, the two announced their separation.
