SS Rajamouli's Grand Reveal of His Next Magnum Opus with Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran Takes Internet by a Storm

Rajamouli’s time-travel epic, inspired by Hindu mythology and the Ramayana, stars Mahesh Babu and will release in IMAX in 2027, unveiled to thousands at Hyderabad's Ramoji Film City.

  • On Saturday, Director S.S. Rajamouli unveiled Varanasi at a colossal fan event in Hyderabad's Ramoji Film City, starring Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu in their first collaboration.
  • Long teased under the codename `GlobeTrotter`, Varanasi promises a sweeping time-travel adventure rooted in Hindu mythology, with Rajamouli linking one major sequence to the Ramayana.
  • A massive 110-by-130-foot LED screen flanked by replicas of Varanasi's ghats showcased the first teaser, though a drone leak disrupted test runs the previous day.
  • Projected for a 2027 release and IMAX exhibition, Varanasi drew thunderous applause as cast members Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran said `The whole of India will be proud of us`.
  • Prithviraj Sukumaran, introduced earlier this month as antagonist `Kumbha`, called the role `physically and emotionally exhausting` and credited Rajamouli for pushing him during the demanding 60-day shoot.
