There have been rumors on social media that Bhumi Pednekar will be joining the cast of Mahesh Babu's upcoming film, tentatively titled SSMB28, as the third heroine. The first and second heroines of the film have already been confirmed as Pooja Hegde and Sree Leela.
This news comes just a few weeks after rumors circulated that Bheemla Nayak actress Samyukta might also be joining the project. If the rumors are true, this will mark Bhumi Pednekar's debut in the Telugu film industry.
Bhumi Pednekar made her Bollywood debut in 2015 with the film Dum Laga Ke Haisha, where she was launched as a heroine by the Yash Raj Films banner. She has since starred in several successful films, establishing herself as an A-list actress in the Hindi film industry.
SSMB28 will be the third collaboration between Mahesh Babu and Trivikram, following Athadu (2005) and Khaleja (2010), and the third collaboration between Pooja Hegde and Trivikram after Aravinda Sametha (2018) and Ala Vaikuntapuramulo (2020). The music for the film will be composed by Thaman. The post-theatrical streaming rights for SSMB28 have recently been sold to Netflix for a huge price. Mahesh Babu tasted disaster the last time when he worked with three heroines in
Brahmotsavam while Trivikram tasted success with three heroines in Son of Satyamurthy. Let's see which sentiment will be proved now!
