The makers of much-anticipated SS Rajamouli-Mahesh Babu project SSMB29 sprung a major surprise upon the films, by releasing the first single of their film online. The single is titled ‘ Globetrotter’, and by the looks of it, the film has the same title too.
Shruti Haasan has served as the playback singer for ‘Globetrotter’, bringing her quintessential energy and rock-based sensibilities to the number. MM Keeravani surprises too, by lending a certain urban touch to the haunting composition that’s minimalistic in its arrangement to begin with, before it acquires an almost operatic tone with a groovy beat. Chaitanya Prasad has penned the lyrics for the song.
Taking to her Instagram page a while ago, Shruti penned a heartwarming note about the experience of collaborating with MM Keeravani. She wrote, “It was a pleasure to sing for MM Keeravaani sir’s musical. What a powerful track… Let it bang, Globetrotter! I was seated quietly listening to sir on the keys. He said he usually begins his sessions with the Vigneswara mantram before anything starts, so I assumed that’s what he was starting playing. Suddenly, I realised it was appas son ! and that moment was super special. Thankyou sir for your kindness and the love and warmth of the entire team that day.”
The single also came with a new poster, that features Mahesh Babu in a silhouette image as he looks out at the horizon, standing in the middle of a barren land in Africa. The poster also indirectly confirms 'Globetrotter' as the film's official title.
Earlier this week, the makers of SSMB29 confirmed Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran as the lead cast members of their film, also introducing Prithviraj’s character Kumbha through a fascinating character poster.
The SSMB29 team has planned a grand event to unveil the first glimpse of their film on November 15.
