A month ago, speculation within Mollywood hinted that versatile actor Prithviraj Sukumaran might portray the antagonist in SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film. Now, a Bollywood media outlet has confirmed that Prithviraj has indeed been cast for the villainous role in the anticipated globe-trotting action adventure tentatively titled SSMB29.
According to the report, SS Rajamouli and Prithviraj Sukumaran have been in discussions for some time, and Prithviraj has enthusiastically agreed to the role due to the compelling script. Rajamouli intends to redefine the hero versus villain conflict in SSMB29, with Prithviraj’s character not fitting the typical antagonist mold. Described as well-written with a character arc, the script is nearing completion, and Rajamouli plans to commence filming by the year’s end.
If confirmed, fans can anticipate a captivating on-screen clash between two outstanding actors. KL Narayana from Durga Arts is producing this high-profile project, with Oscar-winning music director MM Keeravani set to compose the soundtrack.
