Prithviraj Sukumaran plays the main villain in Rajamouli’s upcoming epic GlobeTrotter starring Mahesh Babu in the lead role.
He portrays a powerful character named Kumbha who is confined to a chair in the film. The makers recently revealed Prithviraj’s intense first look, showing him as a fearless and commanding presence.
Director Rajamouli praised the actor, saying, “After filming the first shot with Prithvi, I told him he’s one of the finest actors I’ve ever known. Bringing Kumbha to life, a sinister, ruthless, and powerful antagonist, was creatively very satisfying”.
Prithviraj, who turned down several big projects to be part of GlobeTrotter, said, “Presenting KUMBHA — the most complex mind I’ve ever played”. Mahesh Babu added, “Stood on the other side, time to meet you head-on, Kumbha”.
The film’s climax scenes are being shot in Hyderabad and the title glimpse will be revealed on November 15th.
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.
