During a recent interview with a Telugu media platform, RGV claimed that SSMB29 will be the biggest film ever and he put reasons to say that.## "My guess is the film he (Rajamouli) is going to do now, I think that is going to go beyond imagination for the simple reason that post RRR release, I think he has spent a lot of time with the technician for the visual effects, so I have a feeling that this (SSMB29) is going to be really a "baap of all the films" made", RGV said.## As per reports, some of the award-winning international technicians will work on SSMB29 which is currently in the pre-production stage. The cast of the movie hasn't been announced yet but it was recently reported that would be playing the role of antagonist against Mahesh Babu's protagonist in this big-budget epic blockbuster. ## The shoot of SSMB29 is expected to commence by the end of this year or early 2025 for a grand worldwide release in 2026. ## Stay tuned...
