Madhu Chopra Confirms Priyanka’s Role in SSMB 29
For weeks, fans have been wondering if Priyanka is indeed working on SSMB 29. The speculation gained more momentum after she dropped several hints on social media. However, in a recent interview, Madhu Chopra gave a subtle yet strong confirmation regarding her daughter’s involvement in the project.
When asked about the reports of Priyanka being a part of the movie, Madhu Chopra responded with a simple yet revealing statement: “Vahin shooting pe hain voh” (She is shooting the film). If that wasn’t enough, she also nodded in agreement when the interviewer pointed out that Priyanka was currently in Hyderabad, allegedly for the film’s shoot.
While her response wasn’t an official confirmation from the film’s team, fans have taken it as a clear hint that Priyanka is indeed part of the film.
Priyanka’s Hints About Being in SSMB 29
Long before Madhu Chopra’s confirmation, Priyanka had already sparked excitement among her fans with some intriguing social media posts.
Recently, she shared a video on Instagram, documenting her journey from Toronto to Hyderabad. What caught everyone’s attention was the background music—”Roar of RRR”, a track from Rajamouli’s previous blockbuster film. This led to widespread speculation that she was heading to India for the movie.
After landing in Hyderabad, Priyanka further fueled the rumors by sharing pictures from her visit to the famous Chilkur Balaji Temple in Telangana. She captioned her post with a heartfelt message:
“With the blessings of Shri Balaji, a new chapter begins. May we all find peace in our hearts and prosperity and abundance all around us. God’s grace is infinite. Thank you @upasanakaminenikonidela.”
The phrase “a new chapter begins” made fans believe that she was talking about her new film project—most likely Rajamouli’s new movie. However, she did not directly mention the film, keeping the suspense alive.
What We Know So Far
SSMB 29 is one of the most anticipated Indian films, primarily because it brings together the master storyteller SS Rajamouli and superstar Mahesh Babu. The movie was officially launched in January 2025 with a pooja ceremony in Hyderabad. However, to maintain secrecy, no pictures from the event were shared with the public.
The film’s story has been written by Vijayendra Prasad, Rajamouli’s father and the mastermind behind Baahubali and RRR. Reports suggest that the movie will be an action-adventure film, inspired by Hollywood’s Indiana Jones franchise. Mahesh Babu is expected to play an adventurous, globetrotting character, something very different from his previous roles.
Official Announcement Still Awaited
Even though all signs point to Priyanka’s involvement in SSMB 29, the makers have not officially confirmed anything. Neither Rajamouli nor Mahesh Babu has commented on the rumors. It is possible that the team wants to keep things under wraps until the right time.
For now, fans will have to wait for an official announcement. But with Madhu Chopra’s statement, Priyanka’s social media hints, and the timing of her Hyderabad visit, it looks like the Bollywood-turned-Hollywood star is all set to make a powerful comeback in Indian cinema with this movie.
