Post Dhurandhar Success, Rajamouli Expands Varanasi Into a Two-Part Epic

Indian cinema is gearing up for what might become its most ambitious cinematic event yet. After pushing boundaries with larger-than-life storytelling, S. S. Rajamouli is once again ready to raise the bar this time with Varanasi, a film now envisioned as a two-part epic. 

Unlike sequels, this will be one continuous film split into two parts, allowing a more detailed and immersive narrative. The decision to split Varanasi into two parts doesn’t come from trend. With a narrative so expansive that even a 3+ hour runtime couldn’t contain it, the makers have opted for a format that allows the story to breathe.

Known for crafting spectacles that resonate globally, Rajamouli is stepping into uncharted territory once again. If his past work redefined visual storytelling, Varanasi aims to redefine narrative ambition.

With stars like Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Prithviraj Sukumaran involved, this could turn out to be India’s most ambitious cinematic event ever.
