SSMB29 leaks:

Despite SS Rajamouli’s best efforts to maintain secrecy around his ambitious project, leaks from the sets of SSMB29 continue to surface. Earlier, a scene from the film’s Odisha shoot featuring Mahesh Babu went viral, sparking massive online buzz.

The leaked footage seemingly depicted Prithviraj Sukumaran in a wheelchair-bound role while the Guntur Kaaram star Mahesh Babu knelt before him.

In response to this major breach, the makers have reportedly intensified security, implementing a three-layer protection system to prevent further leaks and safeguard the film’s closely guarded details.

According to a PinkVilla report, SSMB29 is being developed as a two-part film, with the first part set for release in 2027, followed by the second in 2029.
