By The Indus Zone Media Entertainment Desk | Updated: November 12, 2025 | Priyanka Chopra’s Powerful Comeback as Mandakini
Bollywood’s global icon Priyanka Chopra is officially back in Indian cinema — and in true Rajamouli style, her return has made a thunderous impact! The actress’s first look as Mandakini from SS Rajamouli’s much-awaited film “GlobeTrotter” (tentatively titled SSMB 29) has taken the internet by storm.
Rajamouli Welcomes ‘Desi Girl’ Home
Director SS Rajamouli, known for blockbuster epics like Baahubali and RRR, shared the striking poster on social media. In his post, he wrote,
“The woman who redefined Indian cinema on the global stage. Welcome back, Desi Girl! Can’t wait for the world to witness your myriad shades of Mandakini.”
This heartfelt message instantly went viral, as fans flooded the comment section with love and excitement for Priyanka’s homecoming to Indian cinema.
Priyanka’s Fiery Look as Mandakini
The first look poster shows Priyanka Chopra in a bold new avatar. Wearing a bright yellow saree — a nod to classic Bollywood style — she is seen balancing on the edge of a cliff, aiming a gun mid-action. The powerful image breaks away from the traditional “glamour-only” look of female leads, presenting Mandakini as fierce, fearless, and commanding.
Sharing the poster herself, Priyanka captioned it:
“She’s more than what meets the eye… say hello to Mandakini. #GlobeTrotter.”
Her co-star Mahesh Babu also welcomed her character, writing, “And now she arrives… Meet Mandakini @priyankachopra.”
Fans Can’t Stop Praising the Look
Fans quickly took over social media with excitement. One user commented, “Priyanka as Mandakini in Rajamouli’s world? Saree slaying with a gun? That’s box office tsunami loading!” Another added, “Pure fire! SS Rajamouli’s direction and Priyanka’s power—this is the cinematic combo we’ve been waiting for!”
About the Film ‘GlobeTrotter’
The film, directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, is already being hailed as one of the biggest pan-Indian projects of 2025. Though the story remains tightly under wraps, reports suggest it’s a global adventure filled with action, emotion, and mythological inspiration — a trademark Rajamouli recipe.
A grand event is planned at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad on November 15, where the official title and teaser will be unveiled. The event will be live-streamed on JioHotstar, giving fans across the world a first look at this mega-production.
