SS Rajamouli’s much-anticipated film starring Mahesh Babu, widely referred to as SSMB 29, has encountered yet another leak during its shooting schedule in Kenya. Despite the team's best efforts to keep the production under wraps, pictures and videos of Mahesh Babu shooting an intense action sequence have surfaced online, sparking excitement among fans and social media buzz worldwide.
Mahesh Babu was captured in casual green attire, actively performing outdoor action scenes. One candid photo shows him holding a map while smiling and shaking hands with crew members. This leak follows previous ones earlier this year when scenes from Odisha featuring Mahesh and co-star Prithviraj Sukumaran were leaked, pushing the production team to enhance security measures.
Kenya as the Majestic Backdrop
The SSMB 29 team chose Kenya’s breathtaking landscapes—Masai Mara, Naivasha, Samburu, and Amboseli—as crucial filming locations to add grandeur and scale to the film’s visual storytelling. SS Rajamouli has expressed immense gratitude to the Kenyan government and locals for their warm hospitality and support throughout the shoot.
Kenyan Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs Musalia Mudavadi praised Rajamouli as a visionary filmmaker and highlighted how the collaboration showcased Kenya on the global cinematic map. The shoot there is part of what is shaping up as one of Asia’s largest film productions, planned for release in over 120 countries.
Building Anticipation for SSMB 29
This film marks the first collaboration between Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli and features Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran in pivotal roles. The leaks, though unwanted by the filmmakers, have only heightened curiosity and raised expectations about the film’s storyline and visual impact.
Filming will continue through 2026 in multiple global locations, including studios in India and the US, promising a pan-world cinematic adventure with a strong African backdrop. The project, tentatively titled "Globetrotter," is anticipated to hit screens in 2027 and is expected to engage over a billion viewers worldwide.
Conclusion
While leaks pose a challenge in maintaining secrecy, they also generate organic excitement and speculation among fans eager for even the smallest glimpses of this high-profile project. SSMB 29 continues to be one of Telugu cinema’s most watched productions, blending world-class filmmaking with a global narrative.
