Grace Meets Gunfire: Priyanka Chopra Jonas Ignites The Screen As Mandakini In SS Rajamouli's Globetrotter

Hyderabad, November 12 — The makers have set social media ablaze with the jaw-dropping and unexpected first look of Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Mandakini, from visionary director SS Rajamouli's upcoming cinematic spectacle, tentatively called GlobeTrotter, fronted by Mahesh Babu along with Prithviraj Sukumaran. The poster presents Priyanka in a fierce and striking avatar, donning a vivid yellow saree while brandishing a gun amid a chaotic, fiery backdrop — a signature Rajamouli blend of grandeur, mythology, and modern action. The actress exudes power and elegance, perfectly embodying the duality of grace and grit that her character seems to represent. The film, which has been in the spotlight ever since it went into production, promises to be a genre-bending global adventure. Rajamouli, known for his monumental storytelling in Baahubali and RRR, appears to be crafting yet another visual marvel that pushes the boundaries of Indian cinema. The reveal of Priyanka's character, Mandakini, has sparked immense buzz among fans and the industry alike, especially after Prithviraj Sukumaran's look recently, which got an underwhelming response. With the Globetrotter event scheduled for November 15, anticipation is at an all-time high as audiences await more revelations from Rajamouli's highly guarded project.

The Raja Saab Makers Celebrate 23 Years of Prabhas In Indian Cinema With A New Poster

Hyderabad, November 12 — The makers of The Raja Saab have unveiled a new poster celebrating 23 glorious years of Pan-India superstar Prabhas in Indian cinema. Directed by Maruthi, the film is scheduled to release on January 9, 2026. Fondly called the Rebel Star and Darling, Prabhas is seen in a bold and regal avatar in the poster, setting the tone for what promises to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2026. The poster captures Prabhas in a striking red outfit with a fierce, commanding presence — embodying the essence of The Raja Saab. Prabhas made his debut in 2002 with the action drama Eeswar, directed by Jayanth C. Paranjee. Since then, the superstar has headlined some of the biggest movies of Telugu cinema, including SS Rajamouli's blockbusters Chatrapathi (2025), Baahubali: The Beginning (2015), and Baahubali: The Conclusion (2017).

Prabhas, SS Rajamouli's Baahubali: The Epic Crosses 50 Crore Worldwide, But Fails To Match The Hype

Hyderabad, November 10 - Pan-India superstar Prabhas and director SS Rajamouli's much-hyped magnum opus Baahubali: The Epic has topped 50 crores gross collection at the worldwide box office, but this isn't what the trade had expected despite it becoming the first Indian re-release to hit the milestone. Baahubali: The Epic, which is a one-part version of the Baahubali duology, was carrying huge anticipation. With grand promotions, renewed marketing buzz, and strong nostalgia among fans, the film has managed to collect over 50 crore worldwide in 10 days — a figure impressive for most re-releases, yet far below the towering expectations surrounding this one. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Trade had anticipated Baahubali: The Epic to rewrite the record books for re-released films, especially considering the film's legendary status, and a never-before-attempted one-cut version. However, while the movie opened strongly in select territories, its collections dropped quickly after the first weekend, signalling limited repeat value among audiences. The grand re-release — including extensive 4K restoration, IMAX screenings, and a new marketing push — had created an atmosphere similar to that of a major new release. Yet, the 50 crore worldwide gross has highlighted that even an iconic franchise like Baahubali cannot fully replicate its past theatrical dominance merely through nostalgia. While the 50 crores mark globally still makes it the highest-grossing Indian re-release to date, the numbers fall short of high expectations that had pegged it to touch the 100 crore mark globally. Some even had anticipated it to cross 100 crores in India alone, but that is not the case anymore. Stay tuned...

Jr. NTR and Prashanth Neel's Dragon To Be Released In Two Parts?

Hyderabad, November 6 - The buzz surrounding Jr. NTR's highly-awaited film with KGF and Salaar director Prashanth Neel continues to intensify. Tentatively titled Dragon, the high-octane pan-India action spectacle is now reportedly being developed as a two-part cinematic saga. According to multiple reports, it is said that the film's grand scale and extensive narrative have prompted the team to consider a dual release. The story of Dragon is said to be massive in scope, making it difficult to contain within a single film. Given Prashanth Neel's proven expertise in handling large-scale multi-part franchises like KGF, the director is believed to be keen on exploring a similar approach with his upcoming film with the RRR star. The next shooting schedule of the film will resume soon. The beast mode is about to ignite again 🔥#NTRNEEL next schedule begins soon.

The project, backed by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, has already gone on floors, with filming progressing at a brisk pace. If the two-part plan materialises, Dragon could follow the footsteps of other mega-franchises, offering audiences a sprawling cinematic universe filled with larger-than-life characters and high-stakes storytelling.

Titled Baahubali: The Eternal War, the teaser/trailer of the film was attached to Baahubali: The Epic in cinemas, and now, it has been dropped online. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Ishan Shukla, Eternal War will be a two-part film, with the first scheduled for a 2027 release in cinemas worldwide. The Eternal War will follow the betrayed and murdered prince Amarendra Baahubali (voiced by Prabhas) into the afterlife. In the afterlife, Amarendra Baahubali finds himself at the centre of an ancient cosmic war between devas and asuras. As he navigates through the 14 realms of existence, he forges an unlikely alliance, confronts divine forces beyond mortal comprehension, and fights to restore balance to the cosmos. Baahubali: The Eternal War is written by Ishan Shukla and Sowmya Sharma, produced by S.S. Rajamouli, Shobu Yarlagadda, and Prasad Devineni, and with music by Oscar-winner MM Keeravaani.
