Rajamouli's NDA Clause For Cast and Crew!

SSMB29 is undeniably one of the most ambitious projects of Indian cinema. After the mammoth success of the Baahubali franchise and RRR, Rajamouli is gearing up for another pan-India project which will be globally appealing. However, the filmmaker had implemented stricter rules to maintain complete confidentiality about the project. Reportedly, Rajamouli has made his core team including the cast and crew sign non-disclosure agreements that prohibit them from revealing any details about the project. Violating the instructions could result in financial penalties. Even reports suggest that no actor is allowed to bring their mobile phones to the set during the shooting. Well, Rajamouli has taken such a step fearing content leaks from the sets.

Both Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra expressed their enthusiasm for the film's commencement in the comments section of the post. While SSMB29 is expected to be a cinematic spectacle, rumours suggest that SSMB29 will be titled Garuda.
