Post the massive success of RRR, SS Rajamouli has begun shooting for his adventure thriller with Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra. The globe-trotting adventure thriller has already wrapped up two schedules, and a new schedule will kick-start tomorrow in Hyderabad.
New schedule of SSMB28 goes on floors
The Andaaz, Waqt, and Aitraaz star has landed in Hyderabad and will join the sets soon. One of the sources close to the unit has revealed to us that Rajamouli will include a crazy boat sequence during this schedule. A special set has been erected for the same in Ramoji Film City, and the sequence will be canned against a green mat backdrop. The source further adds that the single boat sequence will be shot over two weeks.
Rajamouli is a perfectionist and shoots all his fight sequences over a longer period, and the same will happen with this action block as well. Some foreign technicians have landed in Ramoji Film City to design the action block, adds the source.
Mahesh Babu, who plays the main lead, is also back from his vacation and will shoot non-stop without a break. Rajamouli is known for making films with big stars, but this time, things have gone to the next level. Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran is also playing a key role in the film, which has music by MM Keeravani.

SSMB28 has big names from Indian cinema in key roles
Some big names from Indian cinema are also playing key roles, but their names have been kept a secret for now. Once Rajamouli wraps up these key indoor sequences, he has planned a massive outdoor schedule that will be canned in Africa. This is where the real action begins, as per the sources.
But the current schedule is no less intense, as the lead pair, Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, will be tried and tested big time during the shoot, which the master filmmaker has planned in a brutal and action-heavy manner. Watch this space for more updates on this project.
