The hype over SSMB29, an upcoming Mahesh Babu starrer helmed by the legendary Rajamouli, goes on growing. Set against the lush backdrop of the Amazon rainforest, this high-budget film which is expected to breach ₹1000 crores, promises to deliver an experience that is simply cinema at its best. More reasons to wait for: SSMB29 will boast Hollywood actors, and one can only imagine the frenzy it’s going to reach.
Rana Daggubati, known for his impactful roles, recently shared his thoughts on the film’s global potential. With unwavering optimism, he expressed his belief that SSMB29 would receive the kind of worldwide release typically reserved for Hollywood blockbusters. “I firmly believe that SSMB29 will break international barriers and have a global release on the same level as Hollywood films. It’s bound to happen,” said Rana.
In his discussion, Rana also highlighted the shift in the global perception of Indian cinema. While Bollywood films were once the only Indian films known internationally, he emphasized the growing awareness of regional cinema. “Today, people around the world are recognizing and appreciating films from various Indian languages. Thanks to the rise of OTT platforms, language is no longer a barrier. Audiences are now open to watching not only large-scale films but also independent movies with local narratives,” he noted.
