The first leak happened when pictures of Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran together at the Hyderabad airport did rounds on social media. It has not been officially announced that Prithviraj is part of the project, though after his mother leaked the news, a PRO also confirmed that the actor is shooting for the film.

Then, OTV leaked videos of a massive set being put up on Talamali Hilltop in Semiliguda, Koraput. The video showed an open space being set up for the film’s shooting. While this excited fans, the second leak featuring Mahesh shooting for a scene has reportedly become a cause of concern for the film’s team.

The video gives away something major, and the publication reported that the team is looking to initiate legal action to stop further leaks. They also quoted sources confirming that security has been tightened at the shooting spot with a ‘three-layer security arrangement’ in place for the rest of the schedule.

Rajamouli’s father, writer Vijayendra Prasad, has penned the story for SSMB 29. The film is also rumoured to star Priyanka Chopra in the lead role. Shooting for the film kicked off in January after a closed-door pooja ceremony earlier that month.
