According to reports, Rajamouli is currently scouting for perfect locations for the project, tentatively titled SSMB29. The film's script, written by Vijayendra Prasad, has been locked, and rumors suggest it may be titled Garuda, although this remains unconfirmed.
Described as a "global feature," SSMB29 promises to be a globe-trotting adventure movie. Vijayendra Prasad revealed that developing the story took two years and assured that the film will transport viewers to an unexplored world in Indian cinema.

With a staggering budget of ₹900-1,000cr, SSMB29 is expected to be a visual spectacle. The music will be composed by Rajamouli's frequent collaborator, MM Keeravani. Mahesh Babu's recent projects include Guntur Kaaram, directed by Trivikram Srinivas, and lending his voice to the Telugu dub of Mufasa: The Lion King.
