SS Rajamouli has unveiled the first look of Prithviraj Sukumaran as Kumbha, the sinister antagonist in his ambitious pan-India epic Globe Trotter (tentatively SSMB29 ).

The poster depicts the actor in a high-tech metallic chair, his piercing gaze cutting through swirling dust and chaos. Soldiers scatter in the background, underscoring Kumbha's unyielding command. https: twitter.com ssrajamouli status 1986683408828015032 Rajamouli lit up X with his post: "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.
