SSMB29 is currently being filmed in Odisha under high security. SS Rajamouli is making every effort to keep the shoot under wraps, with Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran present. While fans eagerly await an update, recent reports suggest that the movie is inspired by an episode from the Indian epic Ramayana.

The story revolves around Lord Hanuman’s legendary journey to bring the Sanjeevani herb to save Lord Ram's brother Lakshman. This iconic tale symbolizes devotion, strength, and urgency. However, according to Telugu Chitraalu, Mahesh Babu in SSMB29 will embark on a similar quest but unwillingly. 

Unlike Lord Hanuman, who took on the mission with determination, the protagonist is forced into the journey. This fresh take on the epic story might add a unique twist and make the film an exciting blend of mythology with adventure. Meanwhile, an official confirmation on the same is still awaited.
