SSMB29 is one of the most hyped upcoming films, with new updates from the SS Rajamouli directorial reaching fans almost every day. Starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra in the leads, the film is expected to be nothing short of a colossal creation once it hits the screens.
The latest update from Times Now suggests that the director might have used VFX extensively to recreate the holy city of Varanasi, particularly its iconic Manikarnika Ghat, on the sets of SSMB29.

The initial shooting schedule for SSMB29 took place at the Aluminium Factory in Hyderabad, where both Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra were present to kick off filming sequences for the movie.

According to a report by Koimoi, Priyanka Chopra has emerged as the highest-paid heroine ever for an SS Rajamouli film, with her massive remuneration of Rs 30 crores for SSMB29.
In other news, the diva recently took a break from filming SSMB29 and was spotted jetting off to Mumbai to attend her brother’s wedding.
