SS Rajamouli has unveiled the first look of Prithviraj Sukumaran as the menacing antagonist Kumbha in his upcoming film tentatively titled **SSMB29** or **Globe Trotter**, which also stars Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra[2][3][4]. Prithviraj appears as a sinister, ruthless villain confined to a wheelchair with mechanical hands, presenting a futuristic and powerful image[1][2][3]. Rajamouli praised Prithviraj as one of the finest actors, noting that bringing the character Kumbha to life was creatively very satisfying, especially given the character's imposing and ruthless nature despite being wheelchair-bound[1][3]. The film is highly anticipated following Rajamouli's success with RRR, and fans have drawn comparisons of Kumbha's look to iconic characters from Krrish 3 and the Marvel universe due to the mechanical and menacing design[1]. Mahesh Babu shared the character reveal on social media, indicating the conflict between his protagonist role and Prithviraj's villain Kumbha[2][3]. The makers have kept many plot details under wraps, aiming to build anticipation ahead of the official promotional event scheduled for November 15, 2025, at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad[3]. The film marks a notable collaboration between major South Indian and Bollywood stars under the direction of Rajamouli.
