Priyanka's look

The image is not just another film still. It is loaded with intent. Rajamouli’s heroines have always carried quiet power, but Mandakini looks ready for battle. The bold colour, the stance, the gun, everything has a connection.

Priyanka shared the look herself, writing: “She is more than what meets the eye… say hello to Mandakini.” Mahesh Babu added his own line: “And now she arrives.” Rajamouli summed it up best: “Cannot wait for the world to witness your myriad shades of Mandakini.”

What is next for Globetrotter

The launch event is on 15 November at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. It is a big setup. Shruti Haasan is performing, and Divine is too. The teaser is going up on a giant screen, the biggest one they have used so far.

How fans reacted

Within minutes of the poster going up, fan pages flooded X and Instagram. One wrote, “Priyanka in a saree holding a gun? Rajamouli’s universe just levelled up.” Another called it “the comeback we did not know we needed.”

It has been years since Chopra headlined an Indian film, but her return under Rajamouli’s direction has clearly struck a chord.

A return worth waiting for

After Hollywood projects like Heads of State with Idris Elba and John Cena, Priyanka is back in a space that made her. Globetrotter, also starring Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran, is expected to release in 2026 with a global rollout.
