This superstar’s first Pan-India film to feature a set worth Rs 50 crores, costing more than RRR and Ramayana

In contrast to many Indian movies that heavily utilize visual effects instead of constructing large sets as is commonly done, there are filmmakers who go the extra mile and build intricate sets for authenticity. By chance, have you heard about the biggest set being constructed for an upcoming Indian film?

Famous actor Mahesh Babu and acclaimed director SS Rajamouli are collaborating for the first time on a project tentatively called SSMB29. This epic production, considered one of the costliest undertakings in Indian cinema history, will boast a magnificent film set valued at approximately Rs 50 crore.

Based on recent news, the creators of the upcoming adventure movie are replicating the entire city of Kashi (also known as Varanasi) in Hyderabad. Given that part of the story takes place in Varanasi, they have constructed its ghats and temples due to practical difficulties associated with filming on-site.

In a leaked image from social media, the set could be seen being erected in Hyderabad.

Lately, the epic movie “The Raja Saab,” starring Prabhas, has built an impressive world record-breaking indoor set, spanning a colossal 38,000 square feet. The filmmakers needed a whopping six months to construct this massive production, but the exact cost remains undisclosed.

The forthcoming horror-comedy movie directed by Maruthi revolves around a young man’s attempt to sell an old family estate for profit. In this film, the legendary actor Prabhas (often referred to as the Rebel Star) takes on the lead role. Also featuring prominently are Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Sanjay Dutt, and several other notable actors.

Discussing the upcoming movie SSMB29 featuring Mahesh Babu, it’s said that this project is being produced on an enormous scale, positioning it among the most significant productions in Indian cinema. Exclusively, TopMob has shared that instead of the initial plan for a two-part release, the film will reportedly be launched as a standalone production.

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled beyond words! This movie we all have been eagerly waiting for is set to keep rolling until 2026, with an anticipated release in 2027. Starring none other than the charismatic Mahesh Babu, the radiant Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and the talented Prithviraj Sukumaran, this film promises to be a spectacle! However, the complete lineup of stars is still under wraps; I can hardly wait for the final announcement!
