A day before the world turns its attention to Hyderabad for SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated GlobeTrotter event, the filmmaker has already sent fans into a frenzy. On the eve of the global showcase, Rajamouli unveiled the striking first look of Priyanka Chopra from the film — instantly dominating social media trends and setting the stage for what promises to be one of Indian cinema’s biggest cinematic announcements.
Tentatively titled SSMB 29, GlobeTrotter marks Rajamouli’s next directorial after the runaway success of RRR, and expectations are sky-high. Starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, the action-adventure is being touted as a massive globe-spanning spectacle — and Chopra’s first look hints at exactly that scale and intensity.
A Stunning First Look: Priyanka Chopra as Mandakini
In the newly revealed poster, Priyanka Chopra stands at the edge of a cliff, dressed in a vibrant yellow saree that flutters dramatically in the wind. Clutching a gun and firing into the distance at an unseen target, Chopra’s Mandakini looks fierce, composed, and utterly in command — far removed from the conventional Bollywood heroine image.
The visual carries unmistakable Rajamouli flair: high-stakes danger, myth-like framing, and a protagonist who instantly demands your attention.

Sharing the poster on social media, Rajamouli wrote:
“The woman who redefined Indian cinema on the global stage. Welcome back, Desi Girl! Can’t wait for the world to witness your myriad shades of Mandakini.”
Priyanka Chopra responded with equal intrigue:
“She’s more than what meets the eye… say hello to Mandakini.”
The exchange sparked explosive fan activity across platforms, with many calling it Chopra’s most powerful first look since Quantico and Don 2. Even Nick Jonas reacted with enthusiasm, adding to the global spotlight now trained on the film.
All Eyes on Tomorrow: The GlobeTrotter Global Event
While the poster has already captured the internet’s imagination, the real spotlight is on November 15, when Rajamouli and team will hold a massive, live-streamed global reveal event at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad.
This isn’t just another promotional launch — it’s being billed as one of the largest announcement events ever mounted in Indian cinema. The event will reportedly include:
The film’s official title reveal
A concept teaser or glimpse video
Character introductions for Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran
A behind-the-scenes breakdown of the film’s international filming plans
A detailed presentation about its scale, world-building, and global release strategy
Sources suggest that Rajamouli intends to position GlobeTrotter as India’s most ambitious action-adventure film, with a storyline that traverses continents and blends myth, survival, travel, and high-octane action.
With international partners and global distributors already eyeing the project, tomorrow’s event is expected to trigger a worldwide wave of attention similar to the buzz around RRR and Baahubali.
What We Know About GlobeTrotter So Far
Rajamouli has been working on the film since early 2024, collaborating closely with his father and veteran writer V. Vijayendra Prasad. The film is expected to follow a rugged, adventurous protagonist inspired by characters like Indiana Jones — a role tailor-made for Mahesh Babu.
As for Priyanka Chopra’s Mandakini, insiders say her role is “multi-layered, emotionally charged, and deeply integral to the narrative,” signaling a performance-heavy, action-forward part.
The film also co-stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, whose character is said to be a key part of the story’s international arc.
With an enormous budget, a global shooting schedule, and Rajamouli’s signature storytelling style, GlobeTrotter already looks set to redefine the Indian action-adventure space.
Why Priyanka Chopra’s Return Matters
While Chopra continues to headline international projects, GlobeTrotter marks her first major Indian film comeback in years — and Rajamouli offering her a character like Mandakini immediately raises the stakes.
This is the filmmaker who wrote iconic female roles like Devasena (Baahubali) and Sita (RRR). Fans are expecting Mandakini to be cut from the same powerful cloth, if not more groundbreaking.
Her first look confirms it: strong, dynamic, and far from ornamental.
A Perfect Storm of Anticipation
The timing of Priyanka’s reveal is no coincidence. By dropping her first look a day before the global event, Rajamouli has ensured that GlobeTrotter enters its big day with maximum momentum.
With internet discussions exploding, hashtags trending worldwide, and fans dissecting every detail from the saree’s symbolism to the pistol in her hand, the excitement is higher than ever.
Tomorrow, the world will finally get its first real look at what Rajamouli, Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and the entire team have been building behind the scenes.
