Global star Priyanka Chopra has once again captured the spotlight, this time with her safari photos from East Africa. The actress shared a series of breathtaking images of wildlife and landscapes on social media, and fans quickly linked them to the shoot of SSMB 29, the big-budget film directed by S. S. Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu.
The film was initially set to be shot in Kenya, but political unrest forced the team to drop those plans. Instead, the makers moved to Tanzania, choosing stunning backdrops like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro to capture the scale Rajamouli is famous for.
Priyanka’s safari snaps, though seemingly casual, have sparked widespread discussion online. Many of her followers pointed out that the locations matched reports about SSMB 29’s new schedule. Adding to the buzz, Namrata Shirodkar, Mahesh Babu’s wife, responded to Priyanka’s post, giving fans even more reason to believe she is actively involved in the shoot.
Interestingly, Priyanka’s role in the film has not been officially announced. The producers have kept details under wraps, but her presence in Tanzania strongly suggests she is part of the core cast. Fans are already excited to see her team up with Mahesh Babu under Rajamouli’s direction.
Alongside the duo, Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran is also expected to appear in the film. Rumours about R. Madhavan joining remain unconfirmed. On the music front, Oscar-winning composer M. M. Keeravani is scoring the film, while K. L. Narayana is producing on a massive scale.
Rajamouli has described SSMB 29 as a “globetrotter”, promising a story that spans across continents. A pre-look featuring Mahesh Babu was recently revealed, and the director is planning a major presentation in November 2025. Shooting is expected to wrap up by next year, with a grand release lined up for 2027.
For now, Priyanka Chopra’s safari photos have become the talking point, giving fans a rare glimpse into a film shrouded in secrecy.
