The cinematic world is abuzz following the grand reveal of SS Rajamouli’s next magnum opus, “Varanasi,” a high-octane action-adventure starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The highly anticipated project, slated for a 2027 release, has already set a new benchmark for Indian cinema with its stunning teaser, which hints at a massive, time-travel saga blending ancient Hindu mythology with cutting-edge science fiction. Fan theories are running wild over the film’s plot, which appears to connect an ancient civilization in 512 CE Varanasi with a future apocalyptic event caused by an asteroid named Shambhavi. With an estimated budget of over ₹1,300 crore and music by Oscar winner MM Keeravani, the film is generating global excitement for its unparalleled scale and Rajamouli’s ambition to take Indian storytelling “Varanasi to the World.”
