Rajamouli – Mahesh Babu’s Varanasi has been announced for summer 2027 release, but everyone is still doubtful about the release after watching the span and visuals from the glimpse. The film had its official title announcement with a big event last night.

After watching the glimpse, everyone has understood that it requires heavy VFX, because the film involves different worlds and timelines. Which is why audiences feel that the film getting released in the summer of 2027 is a very challenging task.

But Rajamouli and team are said to be very confident about the summer 2027 release. The team is working with 5 VFX teams in parallel, and one VFX team is working on one timeline and world. So all the timelines’ VFX work will be done in parallel, which has already started long ago. 

Rajamouli is continuously monitoring the outputs of the graphics. In parallel, the team is continuously shooting and sending the content to the VFX team.

With this planning, the team is confident that the entire work will be completed by 2026, and the unit will do aggressive promotions worldwide. So everything is set, and Rajamouli’s Varanasi, starring Mahesh Babu,is gearing up for a 2027 summer release, and it is likely to be a March-end release.

iBomma Shut Down: Police Win the Battle

It is already known that the Hyderabad Cyber Crime police have arrested the iBomma operator and admin Ravi Immadi. After a long battle between the police and piracy websites, the authorities have finally achieved a major victory as they shut down the main piracy website, iBomma.

About a month ago, the police arrested one of the biggest piracy networks in the country. During that time, Hyderabad Police Commissioner C.V. Anand stated that due to piracy, the Telugu film industry suffered losses of nearly ₹3,700 crore in just the year 2024. He also warned that websites like iBomma would not be spared, no matter what technology they use, and said that international organizations would also be involved to track down such offenders.

Hyderabad Cyber Crime Police Target Piracy Websites

Film piracy has become a hot topic in both Telugu states. The Hyderabad Cyber Crime Police successfully arrested the country’s largest movie piracy gang. During the investigation, they issued a warning to the pirated website iBomma. However, iBomma created a sensation by issuing threats to the police and making harsh comments about the film industry, including actors’ remuneration and movie budgets.

iBomma gave a warning to the Police, but they won in the end

But just like a scene from a movie, the same police force that iBomma tried to intimidate eventually arrested its operator/admin, Ravi Immadi, marking a decisive win for law enforcement.

On October 7, the Cyber Crime Police arrested Immadi, who was uploading newly released films and OTT content to the iBomma website within minutes of their release. The police also froze ₹3 crore spread across three of his bank accounts.

The Anti-Piracy Team of the Telugu film industry had earlier complained to the Hyderabad Cyber Crime Police that new movies were being recorded directly from theatres and uploaded on iBomma. They reported that the Indian film industry suffered losses of ₹22,400 crore in 2023 due to piracy, while the Telugu film industry alone lost ₹3,700 crore in 2024.

Police arrest the iBomma admin, and many details are expected to come out

Taking the case seriously, the Cyber Crime officials launched an intensive investigation. Based on information provided by other arrested suspects, they gathered detailed data about iBomma admin Ravi Immadi. They kept him under surveillance for nearly three months. It was discovered that he had been living in the Caribbean Islands while operating the iBomma site remotely. Recently, the police learned that he had returned to his house in Kukatpally, Hyderabad, after flying in from France.

Acting swiftly, the police raided the location and arrested him. He was then produced before the Nampally court. Officials have reportedly collected key information from him, and the names of more individuals involved in the network are expected to surface soon.

Varanasi: Single Part or Multi-Part Saga? Latest Update Inside

The Telugu Cinema lovers and Mahesh Babu fans are on cloud nine with the official announcement of Varanasi, the massive film directed by Rajamouli, and now they are discussing the possibilities of the film being made in a single part or multiple parts. 

As said above, the first ever film in the combination of Mahesh Babu – Rajamouli’s film was announced at a big event yesterday. The film has been titled Varanasi with Globetrotter and Timetrotter hashtags, revealing that the film will revolve around the globe with different timelines. 

Varansi Glimpse prompts many discussions about the film’s story and scenes

The visuals in the glimpse have created an astonishing buzz around the film. People have already started decoding every frame to find details, and after seeing the trailer’s scope and visuals, everyone has two questions: Will the film release in the summer of 2027, and will it be released in one part, or will it be made in multiple parts?

As per the sources, the current plan of Rajamouli is said to make Varanasi a single-part film with a big runtime of more than 200 minutes. The team is confident that the entire story and timelines will fit into the specified runtime, with each periodic episode having its own designated duration, presented sequentially. 

The film is also said to be planned as a very, very engaging one with no pre-introductions like other films.

Rajamouli, who continues to break boundaries, is aiming for global markets in Varanasi. Before, people thought it might not be possible, but after watching the glimpse, everyone’s expectations will take a big turn.

Kaantha Day 2 Box Office: Still Below Expectations

Dulquer Salmaan’s Kaantha is falling below expectations at the box office because of mixed reviews from audiences and critics. The film had a contrasting response from the regular shows at the Chennai premiere.

The film had a very low opening in the Telugu states, grossing close to 2 Cr, and although it was expected to see a significant jump on Day 2, it shockingly performed at the same level as the opening day. For 2 days, Telugu States gross is just around 3.5 Cr, which is a disappointing one for the film.

Even in Tamil Nadu, which is the main territory and language for the film, it sees an ordinary start, and day 2 sees a jump of around 30% which is not enough for the film. In Kerala, it saw a decent start with 1.1 Cr, but day 2 did not see the jump and remained at the same level.

Overall, Kaantha, starring Duqluer Salmaan, did not go beyond expectations at the box office, and it has collected around 11 Cr in India. Coming overseas, the film is not doing great either. 

If we put together the overseas and India numbers, the period drama’s worldwide gross will be around 16 Cr, and it is certainly a disappointing number for the film. Today, the film must see a massive jump, or else, with this trend, there is no chance of the film going to Dulquer’s previous blockbusters range.
