Fans of Tollywood Superstar Mahesh Babu and India’s numero uno director, SS Rajamouli, have been eagerly waiting for SSMB29. This prestigious globe-trotting jungle adventure is expected to go on floors in April. Indo-Hollywood actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently landed in Hyderabad to take part in the pre-production formalities, including a special look test and workshops.

Rajamouli took to Instagram last night and shared a viral reel in which he was standing in front of a lion’s photograph. The video shows the lion caged and Rajamouli flashing a passport at the camera with a devilish smile on his face. Rajamouli left all the fans guessing with the caption “Captured,” indicating that he has captured Mahesh Babu until SSMB29 concludes.

Ever since Mahesh lent his voice to Mufasa’s character in Mufasa’s Telugu version, his fans have been calling him a lion. Always known for his innovative ways of grabbing audience’s attention, Rajamouli has done it yet another time with this viral video. SSMB29 will be shot extensively in Africa and several other global destinations. KL Narayana is bankrolling this pan-international biggie. Stay tuned for further updates.
