After years of being Bollywood’s global ambassador, Priyanka Chopra Jonas is finally returning to Indian cinema, and fans couldn’t be more thrilled. In a recent interview, the actress got candid about how much she misses home. “I miss Hindi movies and I miss India so much,” Priyanka confessed with a heartfelt smile. She confirmed she’s currently working in India and, more excitingly, teaming up with none other than SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu for the much-hyped film, SSMB29.
For those who don’t know, SSMB29 is Rajamouli’s next magnum opus after RRR, and it promises to be nothing short of a cinematic adventure. The film is expected to be a globe-trotting action saga, packed with epic visuals, larger-than-life sets, and that signature Rajamouli flair. And now, with Priyanka on board, the excitement just shot through the roof. She’s already begun script readings, rehearsals, and look tests in Hyderabad, and the vibe on set is electric. The film reportedly started pre-production in early 2025, with full-scale shooting to begin soon.
Choreographer Vicky Bhartiya, who is part of the crew, even shared how impressed he was with Priyanka. Calling her “truly inspiring to watch,” he mentioned how she brought incredible energy and focus to the workshops. Alongside Mahesh Babu and possibly even Prithviraj Sukumaran and R. Madhavan, this film has all the makings of a mega blockbuster.
Earlier this year, Priyanka even celebrated Holi with the cast and crew while shooting in Odisha, bringing a splash of color and desi joy to the set. After making her mark in international films and series like Citadel and Heads of State, Priyanka’s return to Indian movies feels like a full-circle moment—not just for her, but for every Bollywood lover who’s missed seeing her on screen in a Hindi role.
While it’s been a few years since we last saw her in The Sky Is Pink, this comeback feels bigger and better. With Rajamouli’s grand vision, Mahesh Babu’s charm, and Priyanka’s star power, SSMB29 is one film that’s got everyone talking. And now that she’s back on Indian soil, Priyanka’s fans can finally look forward to seeing their ‘desi girl’ light up the big screen once again.
