Priyanka Chopra celebrates Holi in India, shares glimpses from SS Rajamouli's film set

Actress Priyanka Chopra recently celebrated Holi in India after a long time. She marked the occasion on the sets of her upcoming film directed by SS Rajamouli. The film, known as SSMB 29, is highly anticipated as it marks the first collaboration between Priyanka Chopra and Rajamouli. Priyanka shared pictures from her Holi celebrations on Instagram, showing her excitement about working on the film and enjoying the festival with the crew.

Priyanka’s Holi celebration on the film set

Priyanka Chopra took to Instagram to wish her fans a happy Holi. She posted pictures where she was seen smiling with bright Holi colours on her cheeks. Her caption read, "It’s a working Holi for us. Here’s wishing everyone celebrating a very Happy Holi full of laughter and togetherness with your loved ones."

This was a special moment for Priyanka since it had been a while since she celebrated Holi in India. The festival is widely celebrated with colours, music, and dancing. Priyanka’s fans were thrilled to see her embrace Indian traditions despite her busy filming schedule.

Priyanka is currently working on SSMB 29, which is directed by SS Rajamouli. The film also stars superstar Mahesh Babu. Though details about the film have not been officially released, it is expected to be an action-adventure film with a grand scale similar to Rajamouli's previous blockbuster RRR.

Priyanka’s decision to join the film was confirmed when she commented "finally" under one of Rajamouli’s Instagram posts about the project. The film was officially launched with a pooja ceremony in Hyderabad earlier this year, but the makers have kept most details secret, including Mahesh Babu’s look for the film.

Director SS Rajamouli, known for creating massive hits like Baahubali and RRR, is working on this ambitious project with Mahesh Babu. In January, Rajamouli posted a humorous video where he jokingly said that he had "caged the lion" by securing Mahesh Babu’s commitment to the film. He even mentioned that he took Mahesh’s passport, suggesting that the actor would be fully dedicated to the shoot.

Mahesh Babu reacted to this post by commenting with a famous dialogue from his 2006 film Pokiri: "Okkasaari commit ayithe naa maata nene vinanu," which means "Once I commit, I won’t even listen to myself." This playful exchange created a buzz among fans, who are eager to see Mahesh and Rajamouli’s first collaboration.

Reports suggest that the film will have a storyline inspired by Indiana Jones, involving action, adventure, and treasure hunts. The movie’s production has already attracted significant attention, and the security around the set has been tightened after a video from the shoot leaked online.

Priyanka Chopra’s involvement in the film adds to the excitement. She has previously worked in several Hollywood films and web series, but her return to Indian cinema with a project of this scale has thrilled her fans.

Priyanka Chopra’s journey back to Indian Cinema

Priyanka Chopra has been living in the US for the past few years with her husband Nick Jonas and daughter Malti Marie. While she has been busy with Hollywood projects, including The Matrix Resurrections and Citadel, her fans have been waiting for her to return to Bollywood.

Her last major Indian film was The Sky is Pink (2019). Since then, she has been seen in some Indian productions but had not taken on a lead role until now. Priyanka’s decision to work with Rajamouli, one of India’s most successful directors, marks an important step in her career.

In an earlier interview, Priyanka said she wanted to work with directors who could challenge her and offer her something different. SS Rajamouli’s reputation for creating epic films with strong characters and powerful storytelling made this an ideal project for her.

Although not much is known about the plot of SSMB 29, it is expected to be a high-budget action-adventure film with international locations. Rajamouli has a track record of creating visually stunning films with intense action sequences, and this film is expected to follow that pattern.

Mahesh Babu, who has a massive fan following, is said to be undergoing intense training for his role. The film’s production team is reportedly working with Hollywood stunt coordinators to design action sequences that will match international standards.

Priyanka’s role in the film has not been revealed yet. However, industry insiders suggest that she will play a key part in the story and have several action sequences alongside Mahesh Babu.

The film is being produced by KL Narayana under Sri Durga Arts. It is expected to be shot in multiple countries, including India, Europe, and the Middle East. The team has reportedly been scouting locations and finalizing shooting schedules.

Fans are already excited about the project. The combination of Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli is expected to create a box-office hit. Priyanka Chopra’s involvement has increased the film’s buzz, especially among international audiences.

Social media has been flooded with fan comments and reactions since Priyanka posted her Holi pictures. Many fans expressed their excitement about seeing her back in an Indian film. Others commented on the chemistry between Priyanka and Mahesh Babu, speculating about their on-screen pairing.

Industry experts believe that SSMB 29 could become one of the biggest films of the year. SS Rajamouli’s last film, RRR, was a massive success both in India and overseas, winning several international awards. If SSMB 29 follows the same path, it could break box-office records and further strengthen Rajamouli’s reputation as one of the best directors in the world.

Apart from SSMB 29, Priyanka Chopra has several other projects lined up. She will be seen in Heads of State alongside Idris Elba and John Cena. She is also working on a Hollywood rom-com with Mindy Kaling.

Priyanka has also hinted that she would like to work on more Indian films. In a recent interview, she said that working in Bollywood feels like coming home, and she hopes to balance her career between Hollywood and Indian cinema.

Priyanka Chopra’s Holi celebration on the sets of SSMB 29 has created a lot of excitement among fans. Her return to Indian cinema with a project directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu has raised expectations for the film. With an adventurous storyline, international locations, and high production values, SSMB 29 is expected to be one of the most talked-about films of the year.

As fans eagerly wait for more details about the film, Priyanka’s joyful Holi celebration has added to the anticipation. Her involvement in SSMB 29 marks a significant return to Indian cinema, and fans are hopeful that this project will showcase her talent and versatility once again.
