The veil of secrecy surrounding SS Rajamouli's epic SSMB29 has been pierced, igniting a firestorm of online backlash. A leaked video, capturing Mahesh Babu in a pivotal scene, has surfaced, prompting fans to condemn the breach and call for immediate action.
The unauthorized clip depicts Mahesh Babu filming a tense sequence, where he's forcibly shoved and ultimately forced to kneel at gunpoint. The video, seemingly shot from a vehicle, quickly spread online, sparking widespread condemnation of the leak's source.
Netizens are rallying against the incident, decrying the blatant disregard for the filmmakers' efforts and the serious issue of piracy. They're emphasizing the importance of respecting the immense work invested in the project, urging for the video's removal and stricter measures to prevent future leaks.
This incident follows a previous leak showcasing the grand set constructed on the Talamali hilltop in Odisha's Koraput region, further fueling concerns about security and unauthorized access during production. The set, showcasing the scenic landscapes of eastern India, was intended for the film's upcoming shooting schedule.
SSMB29, envisioned as a two-part cinematic spectacle, is slated for a 2027 release for its first installment, with the second part anticipated in 2029. With a staggering budget of Rs 1000 crores, the film promises a globe-trotting adventure, featuring international artists and a narrative rumored to draw inspiration from Hindu mythology, with Mahesh Babu possibly portraying a character akin to Lord Hanuman.
The recent leaks have only amplified the anticipation surrounding SSMB29, while simultaneously highlighting the challenges of safeguarding such a high-profile production in the digital age. Fans are now more eager than ever to witness the final product, hoping the leaks won't overshadow the film's intended grandeur.
