In what promises to be a thrilling cinematic experience, Prithviraj Sukumaran is stepping into a role unlike anything he’s ever done before. The Malayalam superstar has unveiled the first glimpse of his character, Kumbha, a complex and enigmatic antagonist in SS Rajamouli’s upcoming film (tentative title for SSMB 29 is “Globe Trotter”).
Prithviraj Sukumaran himself expressed excitement over the role, calling Kumbha “the most complex mind” he has ever played. On social media, he shared a glimpse of his character, adding a fiery tone to the anticipation by tagging Rajamouli and his co-stars Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra.

Thank you @ssrajamouli sir for crafting a world that constantly tests my limits…”
SS Rajamouli, the visionary director behind blockbusters like Baahubali and RRR, is equally excited about Sukumaran’s portrayal of Kumbha. The director took to social media to share his admiration for the actor. He wrote, “After canning the first shot with Prithvi, I walked up to him and said you are one of the finest actors I’ve ever known. Bringing life to this sinister, ruthless, powerful antagonist KUMBHA was creatively very satisfying. Thank you Prithvi for slipping into his chair… literally…”
Mahesh Babu, one of the leading stars in Indian cinema, also chimed in, setting the stage for a powerful face-off between his character and Kumbha. Writing on social media, Babu said, “Stood on the other side… time to meet you head-on KUMBHA… @PrithviOfficial”. This cryptic post hints at an epic showdown between the characters, building further excitement and anticipation for the film’s release.
While the project is generating immense buzz, the team has yet to reveal the final title of the film, adding a layer of mystery that has only fueled the audience’s curiosity.
