Hyderabad: The excitement surrounding SS Rajamouli’s Globe Trotter, starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran, reached a fever pitch on Friday (November 15) as thousands of fans poured into the Ramoji Film City for the grand promotional event. The venue witnessed massive crowds, energetic processions and unprecedented fan activity hours before the event officially began.
Giant screens, drone visuals and massive build-up
Ahead of the event, several videos flooded social media, showing fans arriving in large groups to witness what many expect to be one of the biggest promotional shows ever held for an Indian film. A drone-shot video circulating online captured a huge LED screen installed at the venue, set to display behind-the-scenes visuals, film stills and exclusive content from Globe Trotter.
Excited fans could also be seen waving yellow flags, riding bikes and jeeps, and chanting “Mahesh Babu!” as they made their way to the open-ground venue inside the film city. The build-up reflected both the scale of the event and the unprecedented hype surrounding Rajamouli’s upcoming pan-Indian film.
Fans sprint to secure viewing spots
In one widely shared video, hundreds of fans were seen running inside the premises in an attempt to secure the best vantage point for the event. The rush prompted concerns about crowd control, especially since entry to the venue had already been restricted.
To manage the overwhelming interest, the makers issued “passports” instead of conventional entry passes, adding a thematic twist to the Globe Trotter promotional campaign. These physical passports allowed only selected fans into the live event.
Rajamouli urges crowd discipline
Director SS Rajamouli, anticipating the massive turnout, posted a cautionary message on X earlier in the day. He wrote,
“Very excited to see you all at the #Globetrotter event on November 15. The RFC main gate will be closed on the event day. Follow the instructions on your entry pass. Cooperate with police and security to ensure a hassle-free, safe, and happy experience for everyone.”
The organisers, along with police personnel and security teams, have taken extensive measures to ensure smooth entry and controlled movement within the venue.
Event to stream live for fans
While physical entry is limited, fans across India will be able to tune in to the grand event. The Globe Trotter celebration will be streamed live on JioHotstar from 7 pm onwards on November 15, allowing wider audiences to experience the spectacle taking place at Ramoji Film City.
Conclusion
The overwhelming response from fans underscores the star power of Mahesh Babu and the anticipation surrounding SS Rajamouli’s next cinematic venture. With thousands already gathered and millions expected to tune in online, the Globe Trotter event is set to mark a milestone in movie marketing and fan engagement in India.
