Superstar Mahesh Babu’s next big project, Varanasi, is being mounted on a monumental scale and budget. The film is directed by SS Rajamouli, known for global blockbusters Baahubali and RRR.
Mahesh was spotted leaving for Georgia this morning from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad. It isn’t a vacation but a work trip, as he is set to join the next schedule of Varanasi. The Georgia schedule is about to commence, and Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran are also expected to join him for this leg of the shoot.
Composer MM Keeravaani recently revealed that the background score work will begin in September after the team wraps up the entire shoot in June.
Joining the lead cast are Prakash Raj and Madhavan in key roles. KL Narayana and SS Karthikeya are producing the film on a massive budget. The pan-world action adventure is slated to hit the screens on April 7, 2027.
