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 film, which has been in the spotlight ever since it went into production, promises to be a genre-bending global adventure.

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...

The film also features Anu Emmanuel, Rao Ramesh, and Rohini in key roles.

Whether her star power will drive stronger weekend numbers remains to be seen, but her portrayal has already become a talking point on social media. For The Girlfriend, the coming weekend will be critical. With decent occupancy in Telugu states—especially in multiplex circuits—the film has potential for growth if word-of-mouth sustains. The evening and night shows already suggest curiosity building among Rashmika’s fan base, and a strong Saturday could help push its momentum further.

The title rights were reportedly with someone else, but SS Rajamouli's team reached out and secured the rights. An earlier report revealed that the movie is deeply rooted in the epic Ramayana, with science fiction elements. Mahesh Babu will reportedly don multiple looks that reflect his character's evolution, while Priyanka Chopra, who plays the female lead, is said to be playing an intrepid explorer. Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran plays the role of the antagonist in this globe-trotting film. The first look title reveal event will be held on November 15 in Ramoji Rao Film City, Hyderabad. The event will be streamed on JioHotstar. The shoot of Varanasi is expected to be wrapped by the summer of 2026, and the makers are reportedly eyeing for 2027 release in multiple Indian and international languages. Stay tuned...

Rajamouli Reveals Bali Inspiration Behind Baahubali Battle Film Roars Again At Box Office

When S.S. Rajamouli says inspiration can strike anywhere, he means it literally. In a recent X post going viral among film buffs, the master storyteller revealed that the Karna and Ghatotkacha fight sequence in Baahubali was inspired by a grand sculpture he saw in Bali. The larger-than-life depiction of the mythological clash sparked a creative spark — one that eventually shaped one of Indian cinema’s most iconic war moments.And now, with Baahubali: The Epic back in cinemas in its remastered, single-cut format, audiences are once again witnessing how that vision translated into cinematic history. #SSRajamouli Said I Saw - KARNA AND GHATOTKACHA FIGHT - Statue in Bali then I decided its need be in My #BaahubaliTheEpic Film. pic.twitter.com/CVdgie778A— GetsCinema (@GetsCinema) November 4, 2025 This new edition condenses the two-part saga into one sweeping narrative while upgrading visuals and sound for today’s big-screen standards. With enhanced clarity, deeper sound design and a tighter storytelling rhythm, the film feels less like a re-release and more like a celebration of the world Rajamouli built.From Mahishmati’s soaring architecture to the raw emotional arc of Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali, the film still carries the same thunder — only sleeker, sharper and grander. Even as a re-release, Baahubali: The Epic has surged back into theatres with remarkable force. The film has already garnered ₹26 crore net in India in its first four days, with a global weekend haul of ₹39.75 crore, proving the franchise still commands massive pull. The re-release has drawn strong turnout across metros, fuelled by loyal fans returning for the big-screen experience, families rediscovering the epic, and a fresh wave of younger audiences seeing Baahubali in theatres for the very first time. This perfect mix of nostalgia and new curiosity has given the film an impressive second life at the box office. Whether you’re revisiting Mahishmati or experiencing it for the first time, Baahubali: The Epic proves once again that true cinematic universes don’t age — they evolve.And as Rajamouli’s Bali anecdote reminds us — epic stories come from observing epic stories carved by cultures long before us. The only difference? He turned inspiration into a phenomenon.

Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, Prithviraj Sukumaran Tease SS Rajamouli's Globetrotter In A Hilarious X Banter: First Look On The Way

Hyderabad, November 2 — The internet went into a frenzy after an unexpectedly funny and heartwarming X exchange between superstar Mahesh Babu, visionary director SS Rajamouli, global icon Priyanka Chopra, and Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran. The conversation (obviously scripted) offered not just humour but also a teasing glimpse into the massively anticipated collaboration. It All Started with Mahesh's Gentle Reminder Mahesh Babu, known for his composed and witty online persona, kickstarted the fun with a playful reminder - "It's November already, @ssrajamouli 👀." The post instantly caught fire among fans who have been eagerly waiting for updates on the duo's globe-trotting action adventure, reportedly titled Varansi. It’s November already @ssrajamouli 👀— Mahesh Babu (@urstrulyMahesh) November 1, 2025 Rajamouli, never one to miss an opportunity for wordplay, replied in Telugu, referencing cinematic delays in jest - "Yess... ye cinemaalaki review iddham anukuntunnaavu ee month?" Mahesh quipped right back - "Your 'forever in making' Mahabharatha, Sir... 😂😂 First things first, you promised us something in November. Please keep up your word." Your "forever in making" Mahabharatha, Sir...😂😂First things first, You promised us something in November. Please keep up your word.— Mahesh Babu (@urstrulyMahesh) November 1, 2025 And with that, the stage was set for one of the most entertaining social media exchanges in recent times. Enter Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran Rajamouli teased Mahesh by saying the team would "slowly reveal (updates) one by one," to which Mahesh replied with his trademark sarcasm - "How slow, Sir? Shall we start in 2030?" He then dropped a cheeky clue that Priyanka Chopra, fondly referred to as "our Desi girl," had been spotted around Hyderabad since January — sparking excitement among fans about her possible casting. Priyanka jumped into the thread immediately, adding fuel to the fun. "Hellooooo, hero!!! You want me to leak all the stories you share with me on set? Mind lo fix aithe blind ga sesetha..." Her reply went viral within minutes, with fans celebrating her playful chemistry with both Mahesh and Rajamouli. Helloooo!! hero!!! You want me to leak all the stories you share with me on set? Mind lo fix aithe blind ga esestha.. 👊🏻— PRIYANKA (@priyankachopra) November 1, 2025 As if the banter wasn't entertaining enough, Prithviraj Sukumaran, who is playing the antagonist in the film, joined the conversation with his own brand of humour. "Sir @ssrajamouli, I'm running out of alibis for these Hyderabad 'vacations.' If I keep this up any longer, my family will start doubting me," he joked, leaving fans in splits. Sir @ssrajamouli, I’m running out of alibis for these Hyderabad “vacations.” If I keep this up any longer, my family will start doubting me. 🙆🏻‍♂️— Prithviraj Sukumaran (@PrithviOfficial) November 1, 2025 Rajamouli's Frustrated Comeback Rajamouli, pretending to be flustered, accused Mahesh of ruining his big surprise. "Why did you reveal PC, @urstrulyMahesh? You ruined the surprise..." to which Mahesh responded, "You mean to say @PrithviOfficial is also a surprise? 😂" Rajamouli replied with multiple angry-face emojis, humorously declaring, "Now you ruined everything!", before Mahesh Babu came up with the ultimate truth bomb. Fans couldn't get enough of this lighthearted back-and-forth — a rare glimpse into the usually secretive world of Rajamouli productions. Lets call it a truce. Put out something tomorrow, which everyone already knows. You can still call it a surprise. 😂😂😂— Mahesh Babu (@urstrulyMahesh) November 1, 2025 Fans React - Marketing Masterclass Disguised as Banter Social media was flooded with reactions, with fans calling the exchange "the most entertaining crossover on X." Many praised the stars for keeping the promotion humorous and full of personality. Others highlighted how Rajamouli and Mahesh have managed to sustain hype for over a year without revealing a single official poster or title. As teased by the stars, the first look of SSMB29/Varansi will drop this month. Going by the conversation, it looks like the makers will reveal Sukumaran's first look first, before the big reveal of Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, most likely on November 16. Stay tuned...

Prabhas' Baahubali: The Epic Becomes The Highest-Grossing Indian Re-Release Film

Hyderabad, November 3 - SS Rajamouli's action drama Baahubali: The Epic, the one-cut version of his epic Baahubali duology, has become the highest-grossing Indian re-release film of all time after it scored an excellent opening weekend globally. Starring Pan India superstar Prabhas in the title role, the movie grossed approximately 40 crores in its 3-day opening weekend at the worldwide box office, including around 29 crores domestically and 11 crores overseas. This makes it the biggest re-release Indian blockbuster. Baahubali: The Epic has beaten the lifetime re-release run of Harshvardhan Rane's Sanam Teri Kasam, which minted around 39 crores earlier this year. The entire collection of STK came from the domestic market, as it wasn't re-released internationally. Tumbbad is the third biggest grosser with around 37 crores. The 3-hour and 45-minute-long blockbuster is heading towards becoming the first Indian re-release title to gross 50 crores. As reported earlier, Baahubali: The Epic will need to gross over 100 crores domestically to make Baahubali: The Conclusion the biggest grosser in India, a title which the movie held for nearly 8 years before Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule claimed it earlier this year. Though the opening weekend collection of the film is excellent, it is unlikely to gross 100 crores domestically, which is a tough ask for a non-original movie. However, it needs to be seen how to fares during the weekdays as that will determine how far it can go at the box office. Stay tuned...

Prabhas, SS Rajamouli's Baahubali: The Epic Becomes Biggest Telugu Re-Release Grosser: Scores Huge First Day Worldwide

Hyderabad, November 1 - Director SS Rajamouli's Baahubali: The Epic, a one-cut version combining his path-breaking Baahubali duology, has shattered records to become the biggest-ever Telugu re-release blockbuster. The epic action drama has enjoyed a full-fledged re-release — not just across India but also in key international markets — marking another milestone for the franchise. Starring Prabhas in the titular role, Baahubali: The Epic had its grand premiere on October 30, grossing approximately 5.25 crore worldwide. Notably, re-released Telugu films rarely have premiere shows, making this record-setting feat even more remarkable. What's more impressive is that the premiere earnings of the film alone surpassed the opening day collection of several major Telugu films released this year, which proves the undeniable legacy of Baahubali films. Following its historic premiere, the film recorded a massive opening day globally, with double-digit collections across India. As per early estimates, Baahubali: The Epic grossed around 12.50 crore on its opening day domestically (including 1.35 crore from premieres), while its overseas collections are around 6–7 crore, taking its worldwide total to an extraordinary 19–20 crore. A tale of destiny, betrayal, love, and power - once told in two grand chapters, now reborn as one monumental experience.🔥Relive the entire legend in #BaahubaliTheEpic - from Tomorrow#BaahubaliTheEpicOn31stOct pic.twitter.com/AZXFzLQxjZ— Baahubali (@BaahubaliMovie) October 30, 2025 With these figures, the film has become the highest-grossing Telugu re-release title and the second-highest-grossing South Indian re-release film of all time, behind only Thalapathy Vijay's Ghilli, which grossed over 30 crores worldwide. The previous biggest Telugu re-release grosser was Mahesh Babu's Khaleja (11 crores). Let alone the re-release, the opening day collection of Baahubali: The Epic would even make the most of the original release envious. It is, however, worth noting that Telugu films normally don't have a proper re-release; instead, they are more like a celebratory re-release. But even with that, Baahubali is miles ahead of them. The 3-hour and 45-minute-long cut will most likely become the highest-grossing Indian re-release grosser by tomorrow or the next day, beating Sanam Teri Kasam, which grossed around 40 crores earlier this year. Baahubali: The Epic, however, will be eying much more as a genuine interest, for it can be seen among the audience even after 10 years. Stay tuned...

Prabhas' Baahubali: The Epic Storms To 5+ Crore Premiere Gross Worldwide

Hyderabad, October 31 - Director SS Rajamouli's epic one-cut re-release of his path-breaking blockbuster Baahubali duology - Baahubali: The Epic has started with a bang at the worldwide box office after record-breaking premiere gross. Starring Prabhas in the title role, the 3-hour and 45-minute-long blockbuster had a limited premiere in India on October 30 and a full-fledged premiere in North America. The film grossed approximately 1.25-1.50 crores in its domestic premiere. In North America, the film is looking to gross around 3.75 crores, making it 5-5.25+ crores gross worldwide premiere. The Indian re-release titles historically don't have a premiere, so it is a new record for Baahubali: The Epic, and is likely to remain so. Also read - Can Prabhas' Baahubali: The Epic Make Baahubali 2 To Reclaim Indian Box Office Crown? The combined version of Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion is likely to become the biggest Telugu re-release grosser after the first day itself (including premiere). If the momentum persists, it could become the biggest Indian re-release blockbuster in the first weekend itself, which needs to be seen. Currently, Harshvardhan Rane's romantic drama, Sanam Teri Kasam, is the top Indian grosser in its repeat run. The film stunned everyone earlier this year and went on to gross around 40 crores in its re-release run, followed by Tumbbad, which minted an excellent 37.50 crores gross. Stay tuned...
