Priyanka Chopra Jonas Joins Mahesh Babu in SS Rajamouli’s Epic Action-Adventure 'Globetrotter'
Joins Mahesh Babu in Globetrotter with Prithviraj as villain.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas has officially confirmed her starring role in SS Rajamouli’s much-anticipated action-adventure film, tentatively titled Globetrotter, alongside Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. The global icon shared a Deadline report on her Instagram story on Saturday, ending weeks of speculation and igniting massive excitement across fanbases. This marks Priyanka’s first collaboration with Rajamouli, the visionary director behind Baahubali and RRR, and her return to a major Indian film after a long hiatus from Bollywood.
The confirmation comes just a day after Rajamouli unveiled Prithviraj Sukumaran’s chilling first look as the antagonist, 'Kumbha'—a sinister, wheelchair-bound mastermind equipped with four menacing robotic arms. The poster, dripping with dark intensity, showcases Prithviraj in a sharp black suit, exuding cold menace. Rajamouli wrote on Instagram, “After canning the first shot with Prithvi, I walked up to him and said, ‘You are one of the finest actors I’ve ever known.’ Bringing life to this ruthless, powerful antagonist was creatively very satisfying.” Both Priyanka and Mahesh Babu reposted the reveal, amplifying the buzz.
Priyanka recently arrived in India, believed to be for the film’s pre-production or initial shoot. Her playful social media banter with Mahesh Babu—filled with lighthearted teasing and mutual admiration—has gone viral, further fueling speculation about their on-screen chemistry. Fans are eagerly awaiting the first look of the lead pair, expected to drop in the coming days, possibly during a grand event in November 2025 as hinted by Mahesh.

The film, currently in active development, is in advanced talks for U.S. distribution, signaling a major international release strategy. Mahesh Babu earlier teased a “big reveal” in November 2025 with a rugged, intense poster and the hashtag #GlobeTrotter, though the official title remains unconfirmed. While the plot is tightly under wraps, sources describe it as a high-stakes, globe-spanning adventure blending cutting-edge VFX, raw action, and emotional depth—hallmarks of Rajamouli’s cinematic vision.
With Rajamouli’s unmatched track record, a star-studded cast including Priyanka, Mahesh, and Prithviraj, and a global scale, Globetrotter is poised to be one of Indian cinema’s most ambitious projects yet. The film aims to bridge Bollywood, South Indian cinema, and Hollywood audiences, potentially redefining the scope of pan-Indian blockbusters.
