Prithviraj Sukumaran looks striking in a wheelchair equipped with robotic arms and legs. His expression is fierce, powerful, and bold. With the perfect blend of physical vulnerability and terrifying authority, Prithviraj aces the look like a pro. He not only looks adversarial but also formidable, sophisticated, and well-built for conflict. The character is undoubtedly sinister and ruthless. Looking at the actor’s phenomenal transformation, Rajamouli calls him one of the finest actors he has worked with. No one but him could have portrayed Kumbha better.

Some fans likened the character reveal poster to a fusion of Stephen Hawking and Doctor Octopus from ‘Spider-Man’. Others humorously commented, “Professor X’s chair meets Doc Ock’s arms = Kumbha. The ultimate Marvel crossover we didn’t know we needed.

Billed as a “globetrotter”, the film is bankrolled by KL Narayana of Durga Arts. The action-adventure thriller is expected to be a mix of mythology, advanced technology, and raw physical stakes. According to reports, the movie might hit the theaters in 2027.
