Ahead of the big reveal, Priyanka decided to connect directly with her fans through an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on X (formerly Twitter). The session quickly became a heartwarming mix of film talk, family anecdotes, and glimpses into her personal life — reminding everyone of the easy warmth and wit that have made her a fan favourite for years.

When one fan asked if her husband, musician Nick Jonas, had picked up any Hindi from her, Priyanka replied playfully, “Khana, paani, pyaar, paneer — but I think he picked it all up himself!” The reply instantly went viral, with fans appreciating the couple’s cross-cultural charm.

Another fan wanted to know if she prefers to have her family with her on set — particularly during Globetrotter’s shoot. Priyanka revealed that her daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, has already made some fond memories during the Hyderabad schedule. “My daughter has been to set in Hyderabad and she had the best time with @urstrulyMahesh and Namrata’s beautiful daughter Sitara, and went to @ssrajamouli’s farm and met a calf. Her favourite memory,” she shared.

The exchange gave fans a rare peek into the actress’s off-screen life — one that balances her demanding film commitments with her role as a mother.

As for Globetrotter, reports suggest that Mahesh Babu will play an archaeologist in what is being described as a high-octane action adventure spanning multiple continents. Priyanka, meanwhile, is said to be essaying a role with shades of grey — marking a bold choice for her Indian comeback.

The film also carries significant weight as Priyanka’s first Telugu project, and her first homecoming since The Sky Is Pink (2019). With Rajamouli at the helm — known for blending emotional storytelling with global-scale filmmaking — expectations are sky-high.

Industry insiders suggest that the November 15 event may also feature the unveiling of Priyanka’s first look, which has been tightly guarded so far.

As buzz builds, Globetrotter appears poised to bridge worlds — both literally and figuratively — much like its leading lady. For Priyanka Chopra Jonas, this isn’t just a comeback; it’s a full-circle moment in a career that continues to transcend borders.

Priyanka Chopra’s much-awaited return to Indian cinema has finally been unveiled — and it’s every bit as powerful as fans hoped. SS Rajamouli revealed the first look of the actress from his upcoming epic Globetrotter, sending social media into a frenzy of excitement and admiration.

Sharing the poster on X, Rajamouli wrote, “The woman who redefined Indian cinema on the global stage. Welcome back, Desi Girl! @priyankachopra Can’t wait for the world to witness your myriad shades of Mandakini. #Globetrotter.”

Earlier, the makers had unveiled Prithviraj Sukumaran’s first look as Kumbha, the film’s antagonist. The actor appears in a formidable new avatar, seated in an automated wheelchair. Sharing the poster on X, he wrote, “Presenting KUMBHA… the most complex mind I have ever played. Ready for you @urstrulymahesh 🔥 It’s game on @priyankachopra. Thank you @ssrajamouli sir for crafting a world that constantly tests my limits.”

Tentatively titled Globetrotter (also known as SSMB29), the film marks Rajamouli’s next grand venture following the phenomenal success of RRR. With an estimated budget of $116 million, it stands as one of India’s most ambitious projects to date. Filming began in Hyderabad earlier this year, followed by extensive shoots in Odisha and multiple African locations.

Priyanka’s fierce look as Mandakini has drawn comparisons to the iconic video game heroine Lara Croft, with fans dubbing her the “Indian Tomb Raider.” Social media buzzed with reactions as users gushed over her powerful sari-clad action avatar.

The film also stars Mahesh Babu in his first collaboration with Rajamouli. Speaking about her experience, Priyanka described working with the duo as “life-changing.”

The film’s official title is set to be revealed at a grand event on November 15 at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad, and Globetrotter is expected to release globally in March 2027.

Priyanka was last seen in Prime Video’s Heads of State alongside John Cena and Idris Elba. With Globetrotter, she not only marks her much-anticipated homecoming but also reminds audiences worldwide why she remains one of India’s most formidable global icons.
