SS Rajamouli, widely regarded as India’s most celebrated filmmaker, has set sky-high expectations with every project he helms. Following the massive success of Baahubali and RRR, actors across India and even globally are eager to collaborate with him. Known for his meticulous storytelling and unwavering work ethic, Rajamouli rarely makes compromises when it comes to his creative vision.
However, rumors are now swirling around his upcoming jungle adventure film, SSMB29, starring Mahesh Babu. Reports suggest that Priyanka Chopra, who recently joined the cast, was initially hesitant about taking on the role. She reportedly agreed only after being offered a staggering ₹35+ crore fee. Moreover, speculations indicate that the script is being modified to accommodate her character more prominently, owing to her international stature.
This development has sparked a debate among fans and cinephiles. While some believe Rajamouli’s storytelling remains his biggest strength, others feel that altering the script to cater to star power could dilute his creative essence. Traditionally, directors have a deep understanding of their narrative and character arcs, and any significant changes for casting reasons might impact the film’s original vision.
With much still under wraps, audiences are eagerly awaiting official updates on SSMB29. Whether these rumors hold weight or not, one thing is certain—Rajamouli’s next venture is already a highly anticipated cinematic spectacle!
