The much-anticipated project is directed by S.S. Rajamouli. With the superstar\u2019s birthday approaching on August 9, many speculated that the makers would drop a teaser to mark the occasion. However, fresh reports suggest that the teaser might not be released on Mahesh Babu\u2019s birthday. Scroll down to read the reason.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">India Today has exclusively reported that the director has decided to skip the traditional birthday release. A source close reveals, \u201cThere were internal discussions about putting out a title teaser or even a concept poster for Mahesh Babu\u2019s birthday. But Rajamouli was clear, he doesn\u2019t want to rush anything just for the sake of the date. He believes the scale of this film demands a different kind of reveal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The source further adds, \u201cThis isn\u2019t your typical mass film where you can release a first-look poster with fiery eyes and a punchline. Rajamouli is working on an international-level action adventure, and every asset has to be timed globally. He\u2019s not thinking just of fans in Telugu states, he\u2019s thinking of audiences across continents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Earlier, Mid-Day reported that the original plans for filming in South Africa have now been shelved. The team had previously considered Kenya and South Africa for the film\u2019s next schedule but encountered challenges in both countries. The Kenyan leg was cancelled earlier due to political instability, and now, South Africa has also been dropped from the itinerary.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Filming in Tanzania is expected to begin in the second week of August. The shoot will take place in the Serengeti, a vast protected ecosystem known for its unique wildlife and raw landscapes. The team is reportedly planning a five-week schedule there, starting with an elaborate action sequence. A crew of around 200 members is expected to be involved in this phase of production.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">SSMB29 had earlier gone on floors in Hyderabad and later wrapped up a schedule in Odisha. The shift to Tanzania marks the next major leg of filming for the epic, which also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and R Madhavan in important roles.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">According to Gulte, the makers have no plans to drop any teaser or announcement on Mahesh\u2019s birthday \u2014 a fresh departure from the usual tradition of sharing big film updates on celebs\u2019 special days. Instead, the report indicates that the announcement will take more time but is being prepped as a \u201cglobal phenomenon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">With a reported budget of $116 million, the project is already being positioned as a global cinematic experience.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">As per India Today, a source revealed, \u201cAugust is when the cameras start rolling again. Mahesh has been undergoing extensive physical training, and Priyanka\u2019s dates have been locked in after long coordination. This schedule is going to be intense and crucial for the story arc.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">In the meantime, Mahesh Babu recently returned from a family vacation in Sri Lanka, where he celebrated his daughter Sitara\u2019s birthday. He is expected to dive into an intense shooting schedule for SSMB29 from August 2025.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/akriti-anand-25837.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Akriti Anand<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Akriti Anand is Chief Sub Editor of the entertainment team at News18.
