Ever-since Priyanka Chopra made her visit to Hyderabad and reportedly spent a good meeting S.S. Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu; industry is rife with the talk that Piggy-Chops as Priyanka is called in the close-circle film-frat, is one of the female leads of the much touted #SSMB29.
While Priyanka has dropped several hints for her fans, her mother, Madhu Chopra, has finally addressed the speculation in an interview with a news-portal. When the journo brought up reports about Priyanka being part of #SSMB29, which have been circulating on social media, Madhu Chopra subtly confirmed her involvement, making a statement - vahin shooting pe hain voh - (She is shooting there).
While reliable sources say that the much-anticipated film will only begin shooting from April 2025; industry-experts say, Priyanka is already doing preps for the shoot-schedule.
These rumours gained further traction when Priyanka shared a video documenting her journey from Toronto to Hyderabad, featuring Roar of RRR as the background music. After landing in Hyderabad, she teased the beginning of a "new chapter" by sharing pictures from her visit to the Chilkur Balaji Temple in Telangana.
However, neither Priyanka nor the makers of SSMB 29 have officially confirmed her involvement.
