'I Miss Hindi Movies And India' Did Priyanka Chopra Just Confirm Her Return With SSMB 29? Check What She Said!

Priyanka Chopra is getting ready to return to Indian cinema. While promoting her latest Hollywood film, Heads of State, the actress opened up about how much she misses Bollywood and life in India. And with one casual comment, she sparked rumours about her next big Indian film.

Speaking to India Today, Priyanka said, “I miss Hindi movies and I miss India. I'm working in India this year, and I'm really excited about that. I have always got so much love from the fans of Indian films and I hope that continues.” 

Though she didn’t name the project, it’s obvious that she might be talking about SS Rajamouli’s SSMB 29, starring Mahesh Babu.

Priyanka Chopra Working On SSMB 29

Fans have been talking about SSMB 29 for months. Back in March, Priyanka celebrated Holi on the film’s sets with Rajamouli and the crew. She even shared colourful moments from the celebration on Instagram, making fans even more sure she’s part of the cast.

The film is said to be an action-adventure in the style of Indiana Jones. Mahesh Babu plays the lead, and Prithviraj Sukumaran is also said to be on board. While the full cast is still under wraps, PeeCee’s involvement has been confirmed by several media reports.

Priyanka was also spotted filming in Hyderabad earlier this year. During that trip, she paid a visit to a temple and shared photos from her time in the city, giving her fans a glimpse of her India shoot life.

Priyanka’s last Indian film was The White Tiger, which released on Netflix in 2021. Her last Hindi theatrical release was The Sky Is Pink. If the rumours are true, SSMB 29 will mark her big-screen comeback in Indian cinema.

PeeCee On How She Deals With Hard Days

During the same Heads of State promotions, Priyanka opened up about how she deals with difficult days. She said, “I mean, for me, it's like going back to the roots. When I'm at home with my family or I speak to someone from my family, if I'm having a hard day, that always brings me back to a place of reality. But also, everything is so transient. You really can't take anything too seriously, like you said, in life.”

Directed by Ilya Naishuller, Heads of State stars Priyanka alongside Idris Elba and John Cena. She plays MI6 agent Noel Bisset, who is on a mission to stop a global conspiracy.

The cast also features Jack Quaid, Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, and Carla Gugino. The film premiered on Prime Video on July 2, 2025, and has received positive reviews for its fast pace and the chemistry between the stars.
