Mahesh Babu's curly bob hairstyle for SSMB29 grabs eyeballs on the internet

Mahesh Babu has been staying away from the limelight for a while due to his upcoming movie ‘SSMB29’ with SS Rajamouli. He has been consistently keeping his hairdo for the film under wraps. At the same time, rare pictures and videos of the actor never fail to create a buzz online, revealing his noticeable transformation for the role.

Now, Mahesh is once again in the spotlight, sporting longer, curly hair for his role in the upcoming film, tentatively titled SSMB29.


A set of recent photographs that surfaced online shows the actor deep in discussion with his wife, Namrata Shirodkar, and a friend. He was seen in a casual beige T-shirt paired with black shorts. Namrata also complemented him in a beige outfit with a scarf. What grabbed eyeballs was Mahesh’s long, curly hair, adorably styled with a hairband. The bob-style hairdo won the internet.

The pictures sent fans into a frenzy, with many calling him a “sher” and a “Hollywood hero” in admiration. One social media user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Waaaaah BOB.” “Hollywood jathini *engooooo,” another reacted.

SS Rajamouli and Mahesh’s collaboration is said to be a large-scale action-adventure inspired by globe-trotting narratives.

Filming for the much-anticipated project began a few weeks ago in Hyderabad. After completing the initial schedule, the production shifted to Odisha for a more extensive shoot. The Odisha leg reportedly featured appearances by key cast members, including Mahesh Babu, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Priyanka Chopra.

Amid the buzz, a behind-the-scenes video clip featuring Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj was leaked, prompting the filmmakers to tighten security on set. Rajamouli and his team have reportedly imposed stricter regulations regarding mobile phone usage during filming.
