Global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas is making a grand return to Indian cinema with the much-anticipated film ‘SSMB29’, helmed by celebrated filmmaker SS Rajamouli. The film, which also stars Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu in the lead, marks a monumental collaboration between some of the biggest names in Indian entertainment. Currently in production, the film has already begun generating buzz both for its stellar cast and its international scale.
Adding to the excitement, choreographer Vicky Bhartiya, who is part of the film’s dance crew, recently took to Instagram to share his experience working with the actress. Posting a few candid selfies with Priyanka from the sets, he penned an emotional note applauding her dedication, warmth, and professionalism. “Working with @priyankachopra ma’am was truly a special experience,” he wrote. “She’s intelligent, witty, strong, and radiates such warmth.

Bhartiya also highlighted Priyanka’s humility, noting that her respectful nature and attentiveness toward every crew member, regardless of their role, stood out the most. “She works incredibly hard and still finds time to care for everyone around her. Her passion for the craft and kindness left a lasting impression on all of us,” he added, concluding with heartfelt gratitude.
Meanwhile, production on SSMB29 is progressing swiftly. According to a recent report by 123Telugu, the next key schedule is set to be filmed in Kenya, where an intense introductory scene featuring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra will be shot. This sequence is believed to be a significant narrative turning point in the movie.
Apart from Mahesh Babu and Priyanka, the film also features acclaimed Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran in a crucial role, further raising expectations around the pan-India appeal of the project.
With Rajamouli’s visionary storytelling, Mahesh Babu’s screen presence, and Priyanka’s return to Indian screens, ‘SSMB29’ is poised to be one of the most exciting cinematic events of the year.
