SS Rajamouli To Film Mahesh Babu-Priyanka Chopra's SSMB29 In Tanzania: Report
Last Updated: SS Rajamouli has picked Tanzania for the international shoot of SSMB29, starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra. Filmmaker SS Rajamouli has reportedly finalised Tanzania as the new international shoot location for his highly anticipated film SSMB29, starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra. The big-budget adventure drama has been shrouded in secrecy, but it is already being described as one of India's most ambitious cinematic undertakings to date. According to a report by Mid-Day, the original plans for filming in South Africa have now been shelved. The team had previously considered Kenya and South Africa for the film's next schedule but encountered challenges in both countries. The Kenyan leg was cancelled earlier due to political instability, and now, South Africa has also been dropped from the itinerary. 'While the regions of South Africa they visited were stunning, they didn't align with the on-screen world that Rajamouli had in mind. He wants a landscape that has an untamed and ancient vibe. Tanzania fits that vision better. The team had already locked Tanzania along with South Africa, but now it is the only location," Mid-Day quoted a source as saying. Filming in Tanzania is expected to begin in the second week of August. The shoot will take place in the Serengeti, a vast protected ecosystem known for its unique wildlife and raw landscapes. The team is reportedly planning a five-week schedule there, starting with an elaborate action sequence. A crew of around 200 members is expected to be involved in this phase of production. SSMB29 had earlier gone on floors in Hyderabad and later wrapped up a schedule in Odisha. The shift to Tanzania marks the next major leg of filming for the epic, which also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and R Madhavan in important roles. According to Gulte, the makers have no plans to drop any teaser or announcement on Mahesh's birthday — a fresh departure from the usual tradition of sharing big film updates on celebs' special days. Instead, the report indicates that the announcement will take more time but is being prepped as a 'global phenomenon." With a reported budget of $116 million, the project is already being positioned as a global cinematic experience. In the meantime, Mahesh Babu recently returned from a family vacation in Sri Lanka, where he celebrated his daughter Sitara's birthday. He is expected to dive into an intense shooting schedule for SSMB29 from August 2025. As per India Today, a source revealed, 'August is when the cameras start rolling again. Mahesh has been undergoing extensive physical training, and Priyanka's dates have been locked in after long coordination. This schedule is going to be intense and crucial for the story arc."

'Embarassing behaviour'UK screening fiasco lands T'wood's Fan culture in A big mess
Cineworld halted a Pawan Kalyan film screening in the UK after unruly fan behavior involving confetti throwing. This incident, along with others, prompted the MEA to advise Indian citizens abroad to respect local laws. What Happened A video clip showing staff at the UK theatre chain Cineworld halting a screening of Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu after sections of the audience threw confetti has put the spotlight on unruly Tollywood fan behaviour abroad. The screening was paused as staff addressed the disruption, prompting some moviegoers to argue that no prior notice had been displayed prohibiting such celebrations. However, the staff called it out for what it was: 'a lack of common sense' and the backlash was instant. MEA's advisory for Indians overseas to follow local laws The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) recently issued an advisory urging Indian citizens residing abroad to respect local laws and 'create a good image' of themselves and the country. The advisory comes in the wake of two unrelated incidents in the United States — one involving the detention of an Indian woman for allegedly shoplifting items worth over $1,300 (approximately ₹1.12 lakh) in Illinois, and another involving an Indian man detained on charges related to child pornography in Washington. 'Fans should absolutely enjoy the film, a film's release is a moment of joy and excitement for fans, and that spirit of celebration is a beautiful part of cinema culture. However, it's important to remember that the cinema is a shared space. While cheering for your favourite stars it should never come at the cost of others' experience' — Jithendra, Distributor 'Audiences, especially fans of stars, should carry themselves with decency and uphold a strong sense of responsibility. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo For those who have moved abroad, it becomes even more important to respect local laws and follow their guidelines, thereby representing India positively on the global stage.
