Moreover, speaking of the much-awaited film, Rajamouli's father writer KV Vijayendra had previously informed the media outlet that he is yet to finish the script of the film.

Reports suggest that the Mahesh Babu film will be shot against a jungle backdrop and makers will start filming the project by the first half of 2023 due to the actor's current commitments with Trivikram Srinivas.

It has also been reported that there will be more VFX work in SSMB29 than in SS Rajamouli's RRR. The film is to be helmed by none other than Rajamouli himself, who is planning to make the project the largest ever in the history of Indian cinema.

Moreover, the budget of the film is said to be skyrocketing. 'RRR' helmer Rajamouli also mentioned that SSMB29 will be a 'globetrotting adventure' that will lure every moviegoer to the cinema halls.
