'SSMB29': SS Rajamouli, Mahesh Babu, and Priyanka Chopra gear up for ‘Globetrotter’ event in Hyderabad with 50,000 fans

Director S. S. Rajamouli is gearing up for a spectacular event ahead of his next opulent project, 'SSMB29'—which stars Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The makers have officially announced a grand title-reveal show scheduled for November 15, 2025, at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad.

Star cast and first looks

Recent updates include the first look of Prithviraj as “Kumbha” and a video of Priyanka inviting fans personally to the event. The clip features Priyanka saying, “Why am I always in Hyderabad? It’s the world’s worst-kept secret. And it’s finally time to tell you. Join us on November 15 for the big reveal at Ramoji Film City.”

The ‘Globetrotter’ Spectacle

An industry insider described the event as a “cultural moment” expected to draw over 50,000 fans from across the country.

It will reportedly feature the biggest stage and screen setup ever attempted—100 feet tall and 130 feet wide.

Priyanka’s Return

'SSMB29' also marks Priyanka Chopra’s return to Indian cinema after a six-year hiatus, appearing opposite Mahesh Babu in a genre-spanning role. While the official title remains under wraps, speculation is rife that the film may be titled “Varanasi”.

What to Expect

At the November 15 event, audiences will likely see the character introductions, the teaser or motion poster, and first glimpses of the film’s visual world. According to reports, the film involves a globe-trotting jungle-adventure theme—a bold new direction from Rajamouli.
