Mahesh Babu--Rajamouli\'s SSMB29 is the cynosure of all eyes. All eyes are on the film\'s globetrotter glimpse which will be released tomorrow at RFC, Hyderabad.\r\nThe film stars Priyanka Chopra as the female lead while Prithviraj Sukumaran is playing an important role in the film. In the meantime speculation is going on over the film\'s storyline.\r\nInside talk is Prithviraj Sukumaran aspires to rule the world and in the process becomes disabled and he lands in India for some business trip. He happens to meet Mahesh Babu and comes to know that he has some supernatural powers and it can also cure his disability. He comes to know that medicine is available in African jungles and asks Mahesh Babu for it and when he refuses he kidnaps Mahesh Babu\'s family members and threaten him.\r\nMahesh Babu goes on the mission to African Jungles and what happens next form the interesting part. This looks similar to Chiranjeevi\'s Anji and many feel that this may be outdated and SSMB29 may flop. But others say Rajamouli may take a simple story but will comeup with strong emotions, breathtaking visuals and superlative heroic elevations.&nbsp;
