The upcoming collaboration between Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, directed by SS Rajamouli, has been the subject of much speculation. While details have been scarce, a new report suggests a surprising twist – Priyanka Chopra may be taking on the role of the antagonist, contrary to earlier reports that she would play the lead. The report indicates that her character will be an integral part of the film and she will be portrayed in a negative shade. Earlier reports said that Prithviraj Sukumaran is the lead antagonist and soon reports floated that John Abraham is the lead antagonist. Now, Priyanka Chopra’s name is speculated.

Priyanka has taken a break from her hectic filming schedule for SSMB29 and was recently seen traveling to Mumbai to attend her brother’s wedding. Additionally, there have been rumors that SS Rajamouli plans to recreate the ghats of Varanasi on the sets of SSMB29 using advanced visual effects. A major schedule of the film will take place in the forests of Kenya soon. KL Narayana is the producer of this big-budget forest adventure.
