SS Rajamouli isn’t just a director, he’s a force who redefined Telugu cinema’s place on the global stage. With Baahubali, Eega, and the Oscar-winning RRR, he didn’t just deliver blockbusters — he created cultural moments. Now, all eyes are on his next masterpiece, SSMB 29.
Just recently, RRR’s live orchestra performance at the Royal Albert Hall in London received a thunderous response. This marks the second time a Rajamouli film has graced the iconic venue, the first being Baahubali. That’s two films, two back-to-back milestones. And what’s even more striking — Bollywood, once considered the face of Indian cinema, hasn’t had a single film played there in 154 years.
Now comes the big question. Will SSMB 29 make it three?
This film is being shaped as a massive globetrotting adventure, headlined by Mahesh Babu in his most ambitious role yet. With international appeal, cutting-edge visuals, and a vision that stretches beyond borders, SSMB 29 is clearly not just another project — it’s a cinematic event.
The film also stars Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran in powerful roles. Backed by producer KL Narayana of Durga Arts, the scale is unmatched. Oscar-winner MM Keeravani is crafting the music, diving into new sounds to match the film’s global tone. Two schedules are already wrapped, and the next one is ready to roll.
If SSMB 29 gets screened at Royal Albert Hall, Rajamouli will become the only Indian filmmaker in history to have three films played at that legendary venue. That’s not just a record — it’s a legacy that could remain untouched for years. Can Rajamouli do it again? Will Telugu cinema make history one more time? We wait. We watch. And we believe.
