SS Rajamouli’s upcoming movie SSMB 29 is getting bigger with each passing day.

According to the latest reports, R. Madhavan has joined Priyanka Chopra and Mahesh Babu for SS Rajamouli’s SSMB 29 and he will be playing a key character in the movie.

According to Moneycontrol, “Tamil and Hindi actor R. Madhavan has joined the star-studded cast. According to recent reports, Madhavan will play a powerful and pivotal character in this action-packed adventure. The makers are yet to make an official announcement about the same, but R. Madhavan’s casting reports in the upcoming film have already started creating a buzz among the fans.”

While some users are curious about Madhavan’s role, many remain sceptical about the movie's budget recovery, which is reportedly Rs 1000 crore.

One user commented, “1000 crore ... I don't know like is there a need for such big budgets ? Its scary ... How are they going to recover.”

One user replied to this, “They won't but they will sell the story of selling movie rights for high price to hide that failure. A 1000ce movie needs 1500cr net to be successful, which is not happening in India in the next 20 years.”

One user reacted, “The film is expected to be a grand adventure thriller with mythological elements, reportedly inspired by Lord Hanuman and Hollywood's Indiana Jones. Hype creation, then monetization.”

Another user reacted, “I am no longer convinced with all these big numbers and big movie sets. They create so much hype, but when the movie releases, it becomes a disaster. Thug Life is the latest example. It has a legendary director actor duo and still flopped.”

Touted to be a globe-trotting adventure, SSMB 29 stars Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra in the lead roles.

Prithviraj Sukumaran will be playing the villain in this Ramayana-inspired movie.
