SSMB29 is no longer just a codename. The highly anticipated SS Rajamouli–Mahesh Babu collaboration now has a fresh identity—at least for now. Both the filmmaker and the superstar took to social media to drop a sneak peek of the project, along with a new hashtag: #GlobeTrotter. While it’s still unclear whether this is the movie’s official title or simply a promotional tag, the duo has locked in a date for the big reveal—the film’s official first look will arrive in November 2025.
Mahesh Babu unveils GlobeTrotter
Mahesh Babu’s birthday was Saturday morning, and the actor and Rajamouli posted identical pictures of Mahesh’s chest on Instagram. Blood appears to be smeared on a portion of the actor’s low-cut vest. Additionally visible is a pendant that depicts an idol of Lord Shiva’s trishul and his ox, Nandi.
“Thank you for all the love…(red heart emojis). I am eagerly waiting, as you all are, for November 2025 to enjoy the reveal with all of you. #GlobeTrotter,” Mahesh wrote in the caption. Rajamouli also shared the hashtag GlobeTrotter.
Rajamouli shares update on film
Taking to X (Twitter), Rajamouli wrote, “Dear Cinema Lovers in India and around the world, as well as fans of Mahesh, it has been a while since we began shooting, and we appreciate your eagerness to know about the film. However, the story and scope of this film are so vast that I feel mere pictures or press conferences cannot do it justice. We are currently working on something to showcase the essence, depth, and immersive world we are creating. This will be unveiled in November 2025, and we are trying to make it a never-before-seen reveal. Thank you all for your patience.”

Nevertheless, the fans are thrilled. At the minimal reveal, many of Mahesh Babu’s supporters erupted in delight. “This will break Baahubali, Dangal records,” one person said, leaving others to speculate about what November would bring. “Can’t wait for November,” commented another.
The GlobeTrotter name comes from the description of the movie as a jungle adventure that will take place all over the world. The movie’s release date is still pending.
