SS Rajamouli’s much-awaited project SSMB29 is steadily gaining momentum. The film already features Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra in lead roles, and now, reports suggest that acclaimed actor R Madhavan may have joined the ensemble cast. Though the makers have not officially confirmed his involvement, industry insiders claim he is set to play a significant role.
According to a report by Moneycontrol, Madhavan’s character is said to hold weight in the storyline, though details remain tightly under wraps. If confirmed, this would mark Madhavan’s first-ever collaboration with Rajamouli, who is widely known for directing large-scale blockbusters like Baahubali and RRR.
The buzz around SSMB29 continues to rise as more names are linked to the film. Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran is also reportedly part of the project. With this kind of talent in the mix, expectations are understandably high. The cast additions have added a new layer of curiosity to the narrative, which is still being kept confidential by the team. SSMB29 began filming in January 2025. Key sequences featuring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra have already been shot across Hyderabad and Odisha. High-octane action portions are reportedly complete, with the crew now preparing for further schedules in international locations.
Large-scale sets are being constructed in Hyderabad, where parts of Kashi are being recreated. The storyline is believed to intertwine mythology and adventure, promising visuals on a grand scale. However, the filmmakers have stayed silent on revealing any detailed plot elements. The film is being produced by senior filmmaker KL Narayana, and the script is penned by Rajamouli’s father, celebrated writer Vijayendra Prasad. With a reported budget of ?1,000 crore, SSMB29 is being shaped as a global action-adventure rooted in Indian storytelling.
The makers are yet to make a formal announcement regarding Madhavan’s role. Until then, his casting remains speculative, though strong industry signals suggest otherwise. The film is expected to hit theatres worldwide in 2027, positioning itself as one of the most ambitious Indian films in recent times.
