SS Rajamouli, the Tollywood mastermind behind the globally famous Baahubali franchise and RRR, is now busy making Varanasi. Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu is leading the mega-budget movie, which is confirmed to release in theatres worldwide on April 7, 2027.
In one of his interviews with the international media, SS Rajamouli clarified many things about Varanasi, and one of them is the mythology element in the movie.
For those unaware, the movie is a blend of mythology, time-travel concepts, and divinity. The genre-bending movie will have around 25 minutes of mythological portions, said the RRR maker, who is known for blending mythological themes into his films.
Audiences who were already impressed by just the first glimpse of the movie are now waiting to witness the rest on the silver screen. This magnum opus is a joint collaboration between producer KL Narayana and SS Karthikeya, the director’s son.
Priyanka Chopra, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Prakash Raj are part of the key cast in this biggie, which has Oscar winner MM Keeravaani on board to compose the music. The movie is currently in the production stage and is being filmed entirely for IMAX, offering a massive experience for audiences. More aggressive promotions will roll out soon.
