Why GlobeTrotter is special for Shruti Haasan?

Shruti posted a short video from the studio. MM Keeravaani was at the keyboard, playing Thenpandi Cheemayile from her father Kamal Haasan’s Nayakan. She thought it was the usual prayer before work. Then she noticed it was her dad’s song. “That moment was super special,” she wrote. “It was a pleasure to sing for Keeravaani sir’s musical. What a powerful track… let it bang, GlobeTrotter.” She also thanked the composer and team for their warmth, calling it one of her most heartfelt sessions. The video shows her smiling as Keeravaani plays the tune before diving into the main track.

How MM Keeravaani shaped the GlobeTrotter anthem

The first song from GlobeTrotter went up on YouTube under T-Series. It’s simply called the GlobeTrotter Anthem. She sings the new track with Kaala Bhairava. The music stays simple, mostly drums and strings, matching the film’s feel. The words come from lyricist Chaitanya Prasad. Kaala Bhairava also took charge of how the whole thing sounds, from the flow to the final arrangement.

The team describes it as an “emotionally charged number” that sets the tone for the film. The mix and mastering were done by Siddharth S and Abin Paul. Fans say Shruti’s voice adds both energy and warmth, which is a rare balance rare in commercial tracks.

Who’s part of it?

SS Rajamouli’s GlobeTrotter brings together Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The story mixes myth and adventure with large-scale action. They’ve filmed across several countries. Every bit of it looks like Rajamouli’s chasing something bigger than RRR.

Rajamouli recently revealed Prithviraj’s first look as the villain “Kumbha”, describing him as “ruthless and powerful”. The poster shows him in a futuristic wheelchair, surrounded by robotic limb.

When is the big reveal?

They’ll show the first look on 15 November at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. It will feature the first full look of the film and a live performance of the anthem. Shruti’s song has set expectations sky-high, with fans calling it “Rajamouli’s next big sound”.
