The man who gave the world RRR is cooking again.
And this time… he's not playing small.
SS Rajamouli just dropped an update on Varanasi.
All the major action sequences? Done.
The film is officially in its final stretch.
Shooting wraps by October 2026.
Release locked for April 7, 2027.
Worldwide. Theatres. Big screen only.
Think of it as Rajamouli's wildest swing yet.
A premise that collides ancient history with a futuristic catastrophe.
A Shiva devotee. A mysterious mission. And whispers of time-travel woven through the holy city itself.
Indiana Jones meets Indian mythology — but louder, weirder, and dialed up to Rajamouli scale.
This isn't a regional film with a global hope.
This is a global film built from day one.
🌟 Mahesh Babu — Telugu superstar, finally in a Rajamouli universe
🌍 Priyanka Chopra Jonas — bringing her Citadel energy back home
⚔️ Prithviraj Sukumaran — Malayalam cinema's reigning heavyweight
🎵 MM Keeravaani — the Oscar-winning Naatu Naatu maestro on music
Three industries. One vision. Zero compromises.
Let's not forget what Rajamouli's last film did.
RRR didn't just break Indian records.
It won an Oscar. Charmed Hollywood. Made Naatu Naatu a global anthem.
So when the same man says "my next is bigger"…
people listen.
And Varanasi has been pitched internally as his most ambitious project ever — a genre-bending adventure built for IMAX, designed for the world, not just India.
Indian cinema is shifting.
It's no longer waiting for Hollywood's permission.
It's casting global stars.
Building global IPs.
Releasing on global dates.
And Rajamouli is leading that charge with a film named after one of the oldest cities on Earth… set partly in the future.
The poetry writes itself.
Action schedule: ✅
Shoot wrap: October.
Worldwide release: April 7, 2027.
The countdown has officially begun.
And if history is any guide…
the world is about to be Rajamouli-pilled all over again.
That's all for now!
