In recent times, Telugu cinema has witnessed monumental box office achievements. Pushpa 2 has surpassed the records set by Baahubali 2. This not only established a new benchmark in South Indian cinema but also challenged Bollywood’s box office dominance in the Hindi belts. The question now on everyone’s mind is who will break these records next. The obvious answer is SSMB29 once again directed by SS Rajamouli, which is being created on an enormous canvas.
SSMB29 is planned for release in over 120 countries, demonstrating the filmmakers’ intention to target a global audience. Already, there is buzz that if the film delivers a strong opening along with positive word-of-mouth, it could achieve a staggering Rs. 5,000 crores worldwide gross. This figure would not only surpass Pushpa 2 but also rewrite box office history. However, the final verdict will come only after the film’s release.
Interestingly, SSMB29 might clash with Allu Arjun’s highly anticipated project directed by Atlee, which is also currently on set. Both films carry enormous expectations. If released simultaneously or within a gap of 2-3 weeks during summer 2027, it is going to be a box office battle to watch out for.
Both films are being positioned as global projects, with international markets playing a crucial role. In the case of SSMB29, Rajamouli’s brand alone ensures a strong presence in the market. Mahesh also commands respect as a top-tier actor, which would be a bonus not just nationally but on a global scale.
Similarly, Allu Arjun and Atlee, known for their Pan-India reach, are targeting international audiences. In short, the stage is set for a box office showdown of unprecedented magnitude. SSMB29 aims to break records set by Pushpa 2 while also contending with the Allu Arjun-Atlee project.
Fans and industry insiders alike are now eagerly awaiting to see which film comes out on top.
