By Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli’s upcoming pan-India film, tentatively titled ‘SSMB29,’ is anticipated to be another colossal project akin to ‘RRR’ and ‘Baahubali.’ Described as a jungle adventure action thriller, the film is still in the pre-production stage but has already created substantial excitement among fans.
Recent reports by Pinkvilla suggest that SS Rajamouli has secured the rights to two best-selling adventure novels by African-British author Wilbur Smith: “Triumph of the Sun” and “King of Kings.” Although the filmmakers have not officially confirmed this, these novels, set in Sudan, Africa, provide a vibrant setting for Rajamouli’s grand vision. The narratives, which involve thrilling journeys across African landscapes, are expected to inspire elements of the film’s storyline.

Earlier, Vijayendra Prasad, Rajamouli’s father and the project’s screenwriter, revealed that the script is already finished. The film is set to follow an Indiana Jones-style adventure format, indicating that Rajamouli may have acquired the novel rights primarily for visual references rather than story inspiration.
Mahesh Babu’s character in the film is said to be inspired by Lord Hanuman, the revered Hindu deity known for his strength and bravery. To embody this powerful character, Mahesh Babu is undergoing intense physical training.
