Get ready, movie lovers, because the first look of Prithviraj Sukumaran as the villain in SS Rajamouli's upcoming film, tentatively titled Globetrotter, has just dropped, and it's sending shockwaves through the industry! The anticipation has been building, and now, we finally have a glimpse of what Rajamouli has in store for us.
Back in August, the acclaimed director promised a November reveal, and true to his word, the first look of Prithviraj Sukumaran as the antagonist, Kumbha, is here. The director took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the image, describing the character as "sinister, ruthless, powerful." He even went so far as to say that after filming Prithviraj's first shot, he told the actor he was among the finest he's ever worked with. That's high praise indeed!
But here's where it gets exciting... Rajamouli has revealed that bringing the dark and powerful Kumbha to life was creatively fulfilling, and he thanked Prithviraj for perfectly embodying the role.
Adding to the excitement, the much-awaited first-look teaser of Globetrotter is set to premiere on November 15 in Hyderabad. The event will be live-streamed on JioHotstar, ensuring fans across India and abroad can witness the unveiling in real time. This digital-first approach is a testament to the evolving landscape of Indian cinema, making major reveals accessible to a global audience.
And this is the part most people miss... The team is currently filming the climax sequence at Ramoji Film City, featuring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film, reportedly made on a massive budget of $116 million, is shaping up to be one of India’s most ambitious movies to date. It stars Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and R. Madhavan and is said to be a jungle adventure story.
