Hyderabad/IBNS: Filmmaker SS Rajamouli on Saturday unveiled superstar Mahesh Babu's first look from upcoming Telugu film SSMB29 marking the actor's 50th birthday.

The first look focuses on the close-up of Mahesh Babu's chest where a rudraksh mala hangs from his neck along with a pendant that carries a trishul.

The actor is seen wearing a brown t-shirt with its top buttons undone. However, his face was not revealed in the picture.

Mahesh Babu wrote on X, "Thank you for all the love… I am eagerly waiting, as you all are, for November 2025 to enjoy the reveal with all of you."

Rajamouli, who is known for directing epic, action and fantasy genre films, said the viewers will have to wait until November 2025 for the entire revelations.

He wrote on X, "Dear Cinema Lovers in India and around the world, as well as fans of Mahesh, It has been a while since we began shooting, and we appreciate your eagerness to know about the film. However, the story and scope of this film are so vast that I feel mere pictures or press conferences cannot do it justice.

"We are currently working on something to showcase the essence, depth, and immersive world we are creating. This will be unveiled in November 2025, and we are trying to make it a NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN reveal. Thank you all for your patience."
