About Varanasi
The official title of the film was unveiled at the Globetrotter event held in Hyderabad on November 15, 2025.
Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra have been paired for the first time.
Recently, director SS Rajamouli confirmed Varanasi's connection to the epic Ramayana. Speaking to Polygon, the director said, "All my films are inspired by the epics of (Lord) Rama." He further added, "In this film, I have a chance to actually take an actual episode from the Ramayana itself and present it in this way."
Asked about how he will make the film approachable to every age group, Rajamouli said it's his duty to make such a film.
"It is my job to make you not feel lost, to make the film in such a way that it's not taxing your mind." He added, "You might not understand the whole story of Rama, but there is no need to. If you understand the emotions of the characters, you'll understand what is happening."
The movie also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, who will play the antagonist.
The film is slated for release on April 7, 2027.
