As per reports, Prithviraj Sukumaran was initially considered for a significant role in SSMB29, but things did not materialize. Instead, John Abraham has been brought on board. “Earlier, Prithviraj Sukumaran was considered for the role, but things could not materialise. Now, John will be seen sharing the screen with Priyanka Chopra. He has quite a few scenes with her, and the shoot will happen in Hyderabad itself,” a source told News24.

Mahesh Babu’s Role and Priyanka Chopra’s Hint

Reacting to the playful jab, Mahesh Babu commented with a famous dialogue from his 2006 blockbuster Pokiri: “Okkasaari commit ayithe naa maata nene vinanu,” meaning, “Once I commit, I won’t even listen to myself.”

Priyanka Chopra, who had been dropping hints about a “new chapter” in her career while in Hyderabad, also seemed to confirm her involvement in SSMB29 by commenting “finally” under Rajamouli’s post. This subtle yet strong indication has thrilled her fans, who are eager to see her back in an Indian film.

Dostana Pair Reunites After 16 Years

John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra last shared the screen in Dostana (2008), a romantic comedy directed by Tarun Mansukhani. The film, produced by Dharma Productions, also featured Abhishek Bachchan and was a major hit upon release.

Their reunion in SSMB29 has sparked curiosity among fans, especially regarding their on-screen dynamic in a Rajamouli spectacle. Unlike Dostana, which was light-hearted and comedic, this upcoming film is expected to be a high-octane action-adventure, marking a drastic shift in their cinematic pairing.

Upcoming Projects of the Cast

John Abraham has a packed schedule with The Diplomat, set for release on March 7. Directed by Shivam Nair and written by Ritesh Shah, the film is inspired by real events, promising an intense narrative around power and patriotism.

Mahesh Babu, on the other hand, recently lent his voice to Mufasa in the Telugu adaptation of Mufasa: The Lion King. Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra is collaborating with her husband, Nick Jonas, and his brothers Joe and Kevin Jonas for a forthcoming holiday film.
