Priyanka Chopra Returns to India with Daughter Malti for Rajamouli-Mahesh Babu Film?

Global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas has touched down in India once again, this time with her daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. Her latest arrival is generating strong buzz—especially in Telugu cinema circles—as speculation grows about her possible involvement in SS Rajamouli’s next big film with Mahesh Babu, tentatively titled SSMB29.

Family Trip or Film Shoot?

The actress arrived at Mumbai airport on Sunday, accompanied by little Malti and a small team. Clad in a simple black outfit, Priyanka smiled at the cameras while shielding Malti from the paparazzi’s flashes. The toddler, already a favorite among fans, looked adorable as always.

Though Priyanka is known to visit India for family and brand-related commitments, her timing this time has sparked curiosity—especially as SSMB29 is now in active pre-production and expected to start filming soon.

Could Priyanka Join Rajamouli’s Adventure Drama?

SS Rajamouli’s upcoming pan-India project with Mahesh Babu has been one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema. Touted to be a jungle adventure with global scale and storytelling, it’s said to be inspired by Hollywood classics like Indiana Jones and Jungle Book. According to industry insiders, the makers are eyeing an international female lead, and Priyanka’s name has reportedly been considered.

While no official announcement has been made, her sudden return with daughter and timing has left fans wondering: Could Priyanka Chopra finally be making her South cinema comeback under Rajamouli’s direction?

Balancing Hollywood and Bollywood

Priyanka has been juggling international projects and motherhood with remarkable balance. From Citadel to Heads of State, her Hollywood lineup remains packed. Yet her India visits often hint at something brewing—whether in fashion, business, or cinema.

This time, however, it’s her rumored link to SSMB29 that’s keeping fans on edge. If true, it would mark her first full-fledged South Indian film in years, and her first collaboration with Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli.

As of now, everything remains under wraps. But one thing is certain—whenever Priyanka Chopra visits India, the headlines follow.
