From Antarctica to Ancient Rome! SS Rajamouli Unveils Jaw-Dropping Details About Mahesh Babu & Priyanka Chopra's Epic 'Varanasi'
SS Rajamouli has once again raised expectations for his much-awaited magnum opus Varanasi, starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra. During a recent interaction, the filmmaker shared exciting new details about the ambitious project, revealing that the film's story will take audiences on a breathtaking journey across continents and timelines—from the sacred city of Varanasi to the icy landscapes of Antarctica and even ancient Rome.
According to Rajamouli, Varanasi is far more than a conventional action-adventure film. While the visuals promise to transport viewers across diverse locations and historical eras, the emotional heart of the story revolves around the bond between a father and son. The director hinted that mythology, fantasy, natural disasters, and human emotions will come together to create one of the most ambitious cinematic experiences of his career.
The ace filmmaker also revealed that nearly 80% of the film's shooting has already been completed, with the remaining portions currently under production. Adding to the excitement, Rajamouli confirmed that Varanasi is being filmed in the IMAX format, promising audiences a grand visual spectacle unlike anything seen before in Indian cinema.
Headlined by Mahesh Babu, the film also features Priyanka Chopra in a pivotal role, marking her much-awaited return to Indian cinema. Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran is also part of the star-studded cast, making Varanasi one of the biggest and most anticipated Indian films currently in production.
Rajamouli has previously clarified that Varanasi is a single standalone film and not a multi-part franchise. Despite its massive scale and globe-spanning narrative, the filmmaker intends to deliver a complete cinematic experience in one film, unlike the Baahubali series.
With its blend of mythology, history, adventure, and cutting-edge visuals, Varanasi is shaping up to be one of the biggest Indian releases in recent years. As production enters its final stages, fans are eagerly waiting to witness Rajamouli's next cinematic spectacle when it arrives in theatres next year.varan
