The Grand Return to Indian Cinema: Mandakini in ‘Globetrotter’

- Rajamouli’s Welcome: Rajamouli welcomed her back to Indian cinema, calling her “The woman who redefined Indian Cinema on the global stage,” and expressed his eagerness for the world to witness her “myriad shades of MANDAKINI.”
The film, which is rumored to be one of India’s most expensive productions with a budget potentially surpassing ₹1,000 crore, co-stars Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu and Malayalam cinema stalwart Prithviraj Sukumaran as the lead antagonist ‘Kumbha.’
