Namrata Shirodkar is eagerly anticipating her husband Mahesh Babu's upcoming action-adventure film, tentatively titled "Globetrotter". The film, directed by S.S. Rajamouli, marks the first collaboration between the Telugu superstar and the acclaimed director known for his large-scale epics.
The excitement surrounding "Globetrotter," also known as SSMB29, is palpable. While details about the plot have been kept under wraps, the film is rumored to be inspired by African adventure legends, with Mahesh Babu playing a daring explorer. The film is expected to be a high-octane action drama.
Adding to the anticipation, the makers of "Globetrotter" recently shared a "first glimpse" poster, featuring a close-up of a man's chest adorned with a pendant of Lord Shiva's trishul and Nandi. The poster also included the hashtag "Globetrotter," leading to speculation that this could be the film's title. A full glimpse of the film is slated to be revealed in November 2025.
Namrata Shirodkar recently spent time with Priyanka Chopra, who is reportedly part of the film's cast, along with Prithviraj Sukumaran. Namrata shared a photo on social media of Priyanka holding her daughter Malti Marie, captioning it "making memories".
