'SSMB 29': Prithviraj Sukumaran gives Doctor Octopus vibes in first-look
What's the story
Renowned director SS Rajamouli praised actor Prithviraj Sukumaran for his performance as the villain Kumbha in the upcoming film SSMB29 as he dropped the actor's first look. The director took to social media to express his admiration, saying, "After canning the first shot with Prithvi, I walked up to him and said you are one of the finest actors I've ever known."
Actor's role
'Creatively very satisfying'
Rajamouli further added, "Bringing life to this sinister, ruthless, powerful antagonist KUMBHA was creatively very satisfying." He also thanked Sukumaran for "slipping into his chair... literally." The image suggests that Sukumaran's character is an evil mastermind who has robotic arms (quite like Marvel's Doctor Octopus).
