Prithviraj Sukumaran, the antagonist in Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli’s SSMB 29, was introduced as Kumbha yesterday. Rajamouli described Kumbha as a sinister, ruthless, and powerful antagonist. Prithviraj said, “Kumbha is the most complex mind I have ever played.
The poster received mixed reactions. One section of the audience loved it, as Rajamouli has mostly portrayed physically strong antagonists until now, but this time he seems to be taking a different and exciting path. However, for another section of viewers, the poster did not go well, as a clip had already leaked online earlier, and some felt the poster’s quality could have been better.
Either way, love it or hate it, the poster has gone viral on the internet, and everyone is talking about it. Theories have also started circulating online about Kumbha’s characterisation, with some relating it to Kumbhakarna from the Ramayana era.
Next, Priyanka Chopra’s introduction is expected, followed by hero Mahesh Babu’s character reveal. On November 15th, the big day, all major movie updates are set to be officially released in a big event along with a glimpse video.
