In a recent interview, the producer of SSMB29, KL Narayana, revealed that the film will go on floors in August or September this year. KL Narayana stated that Mahesh Babu is currently attending workshops to get into the skin of the character.

KL Narayana said, “The film will be set in the African backdrop and the script has shaped up well. Director Rajamouli Garu is too focused. He knows what he wants exactly. The movie will meet everyone’s expectations. We know the amount of anticipation surrounding SSMB29 since it is coming after the Baahubali franchise and global sensation RRR. Fighters from India and Vietnam are doing rehearsals for various action episodes.”

The producer also said, “I planned to do a film with Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli 15 years ago, but it got delayed for multiple reasons. I gave them the advance 15 years ago, during which they promised to make a film with me. They stood by their words and are now doing the film under my Durga Arts banner. Both Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu reached great heights in life. Rajamouli is now getting offers from Hollywood, too. Yet he decided to do SSMB29 with me. I am very grateful to Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli.”
