It was reported that SSMB 29 is set to be an African Jungle adventure film, with a source adding that the film’s makers are planning to collaborate with international studios to reach the films even at the remotest places of the world. It was also reported that the film will be made in Indian style while the visuals will be the joint collaborative work of the best technologies around the globe.

Moreover, it was previously reported that Mahesh Babu will be playing the role inspired by the characterization of Lord Hanuman from Hindu mythology, which is a norm in SS Rajamouli’s films as he is rooted in telling stories like that. The film is reportedly being made as a two-part franchise, which will span over four years, though an official confirmation about the same has yet to be made.

Mahesh Babu has teamed up with director Trivikram Srinivas for the film Guntur Kaaram, marking their third collaboration after blockbuster films like Athadu and Khaleja. The film is said to be a masala entertainer flick with Sreeleela and Meenakshii Chaudhary playing the lead female roles.
