John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra, who previously teamed up in films like ‘Karam’ and ‘Dostana’, are set to reunite for an exciting new project.
This time, the duo is reportedly joining forces for a grand Pan-India film directed by the legendary SS Rajamouli, known for his monumental success with ‘RRR’.
The buzz around the film, tentatively titled ‘SSMB29’, has been growing steadily. The project marks Rajamouli’s first collaboration with Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu, who will play the lead role in this action-packed entertainer.
Early reports had suggested that Prithviraj Sukumaran, the popular actor-director from Malayalam cinema, was going to play a pivotal role.

The filmmakers have already kicked off the project with a Mahurat pooja on January 3. And, Priyanka Chopra was in Hyderabad shortly after, sparking rumors about her involvement.
