The long-awaited first glimpse of SS Rajamouli’s next cinematic spectacle is finally here. In November 2025, the master storyteller took to Twitter to unveil the first poster of his upcoming film with superstar Mahesh Babu, tagged with the intriguing hashtag #GlobeTrotter. The poster, a tease of the grand adventure to come, has already sent fans into a frenzy, cementing this project as one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema.
Often referred to by its working title SSMB29, the film is described as a globe-trotting jungle adventure — a thrilling mix of Indiana Jones-style exploration, James Bond-like espionage, and Rajamouli’s signature epic storytelling. Penned by V. Vijayendra Prasad, the narrative is said to weave action, drama, and Indian mythological undertones into a high-stakes journey across continents.
Cast and Crew
The film boasts a stellar cast led by Mahesh Babu, joined by Priyanka Chopra, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and possibly R. Madhavan. Produced by K. L. Narayana under Sri Durga Arts, the project will feature music by M. M. Keeravani and cinematography by P. S. Vinod.
A Record-Breaking Budget
Reports confirm an estimated budget of ₹1,000 crore, making #GlobeTrotter one of the most expensive films ever made in India. This unprecedented scale promises breathtaking set pieces, global locations, and cutting-edge visual effects.
Production Timeline and Release
The film officially launched with a grand pooja ceremony in January 2025, followed by shooting schedules in Hyderabad, Odisha, and Kenya. Rajamouli is reportedly planning the story as a two-part saga, with the first installment slated for 2027 and the second for 2029.
Mahesh Babu’s Commitment
Mahesh Babu is said to be performing most of his own stunts, embracing the role of a rugged, globe-trotting explorer. Early rumors hint that his character may draw subtle inspiration from Indian mythology, giving the story a unique cultural edge.
With the first poster now out, excitement is at an all-time high. #GlobeTrotter is shaping up to be more than just a movie—it’s poised to be a cinematic event on a global scale. If Rajamouli’s past successes are any indication, audiences are in for an unforgettable adventure.
