SSMB29 GlobeTrotter

The collaboration between blockbuster director SS Rajamouli and Superstar Mahesh Babu—tentatively titled #SSMB29 and more recently, #GlobeTrotter—is arguably the most anticipated project in Indian cinema right now. The silence from the makers is deafening, yet the whispers, hints, and cryptic posts on X (formerly twitter) have fueled a frenzy of rumors, fan theories, and celebrity reactions.

Here’s a deep dive into the most exciting chatter circulating on social media about this mega-project.

1. The Cast Confirmation and the 'Captured' Lion

One of the first and most electric social media exchanges came when Rajamouli officially teased the start of the project and confirmed its lead actors.

The Post that Broke the Internet: In early 2025, SS Rajamouli shared a cryptic post featuring an Indian passport and a lion being "captured." The lion, affectionately referring to Mahesh Babu, who had recently voiced Mufasa in the Telugu version of The Lion King, was a clear nod to his leading man.


The Reactions: The stars replied instantly confirmed the massive collaboration.

  • Mahesh Babu's Iconic Reply: The Superstar responded with a dialogue from his blockbuster Pokiri: "Okkasaari commit ayithe naa maata nene vinanu (Once I commit, I won't even listen to myself)," indicating his complete dedication to the project.
  • Priyanka Chopra Jonas Confirms Her Involvement: Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, rumored to be the female lead, commented simply, "Finally," seemingly confirming her return to Indian cinema and role in the film.
  • Prithviraj Sukumaran: Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran is also reportedly onboard, expected to play the main antagonist.

2. An Adventure of Epic Proportions: From Hanuman to Indiana Jones

The genre and scale of #SSMB29 have dominated fan discussions. The film is made on a pan world  one-part globe-trotting adventure thriller with a budget reportedly nearing ₹1,000 crore.

  • Plot Theories on X: Vijayendra Prasad's (Rajamouli's father and writer) story is said to be inspired by the Indiana Jones franchise, blending action with elements of Indian History.
  • The Hanuman Connect: A recurring rumor is that Mahesh Babu's character is inspired by the Hindu mythological figure Lord Hanuman. Mahesh Babu has undergone rigorous physical training for this physically demanding, action-heavy role.
  • African Jungle Adventure: The film's GlobeTrotter moniker is well-earned. Shooting has already taken place in various international locations, most notably the breathtaking landscapes of Kenya. Rajamouli even took to social media to thank the Kenyan government for their support.

3. The Tease: A 'Never-Before-Seen' Reveal

The biggest piece of official news, which was a collective post from both Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu, has pinned fans' calendars to a specific month.

The Official Update Post: On Mahesh Babu's birthday, Rajamouli shared a note and a pre-look, promising a major reveal.

Embedded Tweet Snippet (Illustrative):

 

The Pre-Look: The accompanying image was a close-up of Mahesh Babu's chest, showing a symbolic Shiva-themed pendant (Trishul and Nandi) over what appears to be a blood-smeared vest, hinting at an intense, action-packed narrative with Historical undertones. This single image immediately intensified the speculation across social media.

4. Fan Whispers and Leaked Set Photos

Beyond the official announcements, the passion of the fan base has led to a series of rumors and leaked set photos that go instantly viral:

  • Leaked Kenya Photo: A photo reportedly leaked from the Kenya schedule showed Mahesh Babu in a rugged, action-ready look, further confirming the 'jungle adventure' theme.
  • The 'Garuda' Theory: Some fans noticed hints from the visual development artist on the film, posting pictures of golden eagle wings, which led to a revived fan theory that the film's final title could be related to the spiritual bird (Vahana of Lord Vishnu) Garuda.
  • The Dance Number: Reports of a spectacular, high-energy, folk-based dance number featuring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, composed by Oscar-winner M.M. Keeravani, have also generated immense excitement on social media.

With pre-production nearly complete and shooting in full swing across global locations, the entire film world is holding its breath. The road to the official reveal in November 2025 is a long one, but judging by the current social media buzz, #SSMB29 (or GlobeTrotter) is already well on its way to becoming a global cinematic phenomenon.

By Avdhut
The "Real" Spy Story We Wasn't Ready For The trailer for Dhurandhar has arrived, and it is nothing like the polished spy films we are used to.

Here is everything you need to know about the trailer that has the internet buzzing. 1.

Dhurandhar: Jaskirat Singh Rangi story

By Avdhut
If you just walked out of the theater after watching Ranveer Singh transform into the lethal Hamza Ali Mazari, you likely have one burning question: Is Jaskirat Singh Rangi a real person? The movie Dhurandhar blurs the lines between history and folklore so effectively that it’s hard to tell where the files end and the script begins. Here is the definitive breakdown of what is true and what a cinematic masterstroke is. The Verdict: Is Jaskirat Real? No. Jaskirat Singh Rangi is a fictional character but represents real intelligence assets. While the internet is buzzing with theories about him being based on the late Major Mohit Sharma (who famously infiltrated terrorist groups under the alias Iftikhar Bhatt), the filmmakers and courts have clarified that the character is fictional.    However, there is a brilliant "Easter Egg" that proves his fictional nature lies within a Cinematic Universe: In Aditya Dhar’s previous blockbuster, Uri: The Surgical Strike, the characte...
