A rear visual (BTS) video from SS Rajamouli’s much awaited SSMB 29, which features Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran, has surfaced online, establishing a storm of online betting and online chatter. Despite Rajamouli’s strict secrecy measures, the leaked clip found its way on the Internet. This shows Mahesh Babu contacting a wheelchair-bound character, believing that it is Prithviraj, and is kneeling in front of him. The video has gone viral since the video, intensive fan discussion about mixed reactions and the story and characters of the film.

The leak is a major talk, not only because of its content but because it exposes a deep problem that highlights the big -budget Indian films: Piracy.

Leaked: A pattern in Rajamouli’s projects

This is not the first time Rajamouli’s films have faced security violations. In 2017, Bahubali 2 to nine -minute climax scene leaked online, arresting a suspect. Despite the shock, the film became a record-breaking success.

Similarly, during the production of RRR, a rear visual clip is characterized, in which the look of JR NTR came out despite high-level security on the set. These were not just random images, they were important sequences from the edit table and the major character appears from the set.

Here’s the trailer:

This problem is beyond Rajamouli’s films and pre-production leaks. Earlier this year, an HD (high -definition) print of Ram Charan’s game changer was leaked by a group, inspiring the manufacturers to file police complaints. Naga Chaitanya’s Thandel also faced an HD print leak on Telegram and WhatsApp, with some pirated copies also a few hours after releasing on public transport and local cable TV. There were incidents where Thandel was broadcast in buses, and the game changer was telecasted on a local TV channel. Financial losses from these leaks have been sufficient, in which producers are struggling to suffer losses.

an inside job?

Many of these leaks indicate a common thread insider participation. Bahubali, RRR, Sala, and now SSMB 29 have all faced leaks from within the production team. Even Pawan Kalyan’s Attritical Dairy, which was the biggest pre-resulting leak, faced a similar situation when the first half of the film was leaked, allegedly by an editing assistant.

There are growing speculation within industry circles that some leaked are internal orchestrated to promote around films. However, the widespread impact of theft is undisputed. The discussion that creates discussion for every leakage, there are many that damage the film’s commercial possibilities and inhibit creative speed. Industry’s failure to address internal leaks has rapidly weakened big budget films.

Manufacturers ask for strong action

Prominent producer Dil Raju, whose film game changer faced significant losses due to piracy, has called for collective action within the industry. He said, “Hard work in a film should be experienced in theaters first. When important scenes are leaked, it bothers the full speed of the project,” he said.

In a recent press meeting, he insisted that personal efforts are not sufficient to combat the rising danger. “No matter how safe the sets are, leaks have been done many times. We need to collectively handle it as an industry. Until we work together, it will continue to harm the industry, ”he said.

What does this mean for SSMB 29?

The leak has only intensified curiosity around SSMB 29, in which fans have dissected every frame of the video and guessed about Prithviraj’s mysterious wheelchair-bound character. Some fans feel that Mahesh Babu may change, while others believe that the leaked expectation may work in favor of the film. Raw, incomplete set views often make decisions and premature decisions, which possibly affect the film’s performance. The team behind SSMB 29 is now scrambled to implement strong security measures to prevent further damage.

With the track record of converting Rajamouli’s failures into success, the real test will be how the team manages the result. For now, the viral video has increased the discussion around SSMB 29, making Mahesh Babu’s expectations even stronger for the next large outing.
