In light of heightened military conflict between India and Pakistan, filmmaker SS Rajamouli has appealed to citizens to exercise caution and responsibility when posting online. He cautioned against capturing or sharing videos and photographs of Indian Army activities, citing concerns that such content could inadvertently benefit adversarial forces.
In a social media post, he stated, “If you see any movement of the Indian Army, don’t take pictures or videos. Don’t share them, as you might be helping the enemy. Stop forwarding unverified news or claims – you’ll only create noise, which the enemy wants. Stay calm, alert, and positive. Victory is ours.”
Rajamouli’s remarks have received widespread support online. His followers echoed the sentiment, urging restraint and responsible behavior during this volatile period. The director emphasized the importance of national unity and vigilance, urging the public to remain composed and avoid contributing to misinformation.
Praise for Indian Armed Forces
Alongside his advisory, SS Rajamouli expressed profound respect for the Indian Armed Forces. In a separate message, he wrote, “Saluting our Brave Indian Armed Forces for their unwavering courage in protecting our nation from terrorism. Let’s stand together as a nation, inspired by their valor, to build a future of peace and unity.” His acknowledgment of the military's sacrifices served as a rallying call for national solidarity.
Actor Yash also joined in lauding the armed forces. On social media, he referred to them as “our impenetrable shield” and stressed the importance of collective responsibility. “With gratitude for their service, let us also ensure we stand united and act responsibly,” he wrote. He advised people to pause and verify any information before sharing it, emphasizing the need to counter misinformation.
India’s Military Response to Pakistan’s Attacks
These statements come against the backdrop of escalated military exchanges between the two countries. On May 7, India launched "Operation Sindoor" in retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives. The offensive targeted key installations in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Bahawalpur, and Sialkot, focusing on eliminating senior figures of terrorist groups Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Pakistan had earlier fired precision strike missiles targeting areas in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan, including Jammu, Udhampur, and Amritsar. The Indian Air Defence responded swiftly, intercepting drones and neutralizing threats. Explosions were reported in some areas, but no casualties or major damage occurred. According to the Raksha Mantralaya, all attacks were countered using “kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities in line with established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).”
India’s naval power was also mobilized, with the INS Vikrant reportedly executing a significant strike on the Karachi port. The offensive caused substantial damage, as per defense sources.
Rajamouli’s Current Projects
Amid the national security crisis, Rajamouli continues work on his upcoming film, currently referred to as SSMB29. The movie features Mahesh Babu and is expected to include Priyanka Chopra. Scripted by veteran screenwriter Vijayendra Prasad, the project began filming in January 2025. While most plot details remain under wraps, early reports suggest that Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran may join the cast. The film is slated for release in 2028.
