Prithviraj Sukumaran To Play Villain In SSMB 29: The epic collaboration of visionary director SS Rajamouli, and the highest-paid, handsomest actor of Tollywood, Mahesh Babu, is finally becoming a reality. The movie's pre-production works have come to an end and the shooting is set to begin shortly. The duo have joined forces for the first time to create a globetrotting action-adventure drama, which is going to be made on a massive scale with an unprecedented budget.

Mahesh Babu, who will be seen in a never-seen-before avatar for what is confirmed to be a globe-trotting action-adventure drama, is taking his sweet little time to get into the skin of the character that he is going to portray. Referred to as SSMB 29, the movie comes after his not-so-successful Sankranti release 'Guntur Kaaram,' with Trivikram Srinivas.

After the movie failed to enthrall his fans, now the stakes are high as well as the hopes for this epic film, which might not hit the theatres for at least another two years.

For talented actor-filmmaker Prithviraj Sukumaran, playing characters with negative shades or entirely antagonist's role is nothing new. His new face of antagonist's character was unveiled by Prashanth Neel in Prabhas-starrer 'Salaar Part 1- Ceasefire.' On the same lines, the actor, who scored another hit with 'Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil' is gearing up to play the villain in Mahesh Babu's epic film. The actor reportedly signed the dotted line, according to a report on 123 Telugu.

Bollywood actor-filmmaker Aamir Khan was approached with an exciting character by the filmmakers of SSMB 29. While the scale, grandeur, and success rate of Rajamouli's films, coupled with the craze, range, and charisma of Mahesh Babu are luring factors, Aamir Khan as well as other names from Hollywood are also in consideration for this adventure drama, which will be made on a massive scale and highest-budget ever, reportedly.

The movie will have an ensemble cast of talented actors from all over the country as well as Hollywood if the networking of Rajamouli pays off.

Written by Rajamouli's father Vijayendra Prasad, SSMB 29 will have P.S. Vinod as its cinematographer, Anbariv as the action choreographer, and Oscar Award-winner MM Keeravani as the music composer. Further details of the project are yet to be officially announced.
