Anticipation builds for Rajamouli’s Globe Trotter
Globe Trotter marks Rajamouli’s first major project after the global success of RRR, combining science fiction, mythology, and adventure on an international scale. The film’s storyline reportedly revolves around human evolution, power, and technology, continuing Rajamouli’s tradition of grand world-building and high-concept storytelling.
The production, backed by DVV Entertainment, features cinematography by KK Senthil Kumar and music by MM Keeravani, the Oscar-winning composer of RRR.
