After an average response for Newton's 3rd Law, Sumanth is set to enthrall audiences with Mahendragiri Varahi, a mystery thriller with a divine touch. The film’s trailer was released last night and received a decent response, creating curiosity around this spiritual mystery.
The Curse of Goddess Varahi
Directed by Santhossh Jagarlapudi, Mahendragiri Varahi is set against the mystical backdrop of Mahendragiri, with the divine presence of Goddess Varahi at the heart of the story. The trailer delivers an intriguing hint at the plot—a curse placed by Goddess Varahi on the Mahendragiri dynasty results in the men of the family dying at the age of 33.
Sumanth plays Siddharth, an atheist who enters the village to uncover the mystery behind these deaths and questions the very nature of the goddess. This conflict between skepticism and faith forms the core of this mystery thriller.
Cast and Crew
While the suspenseful premise looks promising, Aishwarya Rajesh as Goddess Varahi adds another layer of intrigue to Mahendragiri Varahi. The film also features Malvika Nair, Meenakshi Goswami, and Brahmanandam in key roles. Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s cameo appearance is an additional attraction that has caught fans’ attention.
The trailer does a good job of creating curiosity and setting up an interesting mystery. For those who enjoyed Agadha's mystical thriller premise, Mahendragiri Varahi promises a similar divine-meets-mystery narrative.
Sumanth’s Mahendragiri Varahi releases on September 11, 2026.
