The shooting of Varanasi, starring Mahesh Babu and directed by S.S. Rajamouli, is progressing at a brisk pace. The filmmaker is currently busy filming a major action sequence, one of the most crucial portions of the ambitious project.
Amid the ongoing shoot, reports have emerged that the film’s budget has gone beyond the initial estimates, with additional funds reportedly being allocated to support the grand vision.
However, such developments are hardly surprising when it comes to Rajamouli’s films. The acclaimed director has a history of expanding budgets during production whenever required to achieve the desired scale and cinematic quality.
From his earlier blockbusters to global successes, Rajamouli has consistently prioritized output over budget constraints. With Mahesh Babu leading the film and Rajamouli aiming for a massive cinematic experience, the extra money spent will be easily recovered.
