Varanasi Confirmed as a Single-Part Film

Ever since the announcement of Varanasi, starring Superstar Mahesh Babu and directed by SS Rajamouli, excitement has been sky-high among fans and within the industry. Many even speculated that the film would be made as a multi-part franchise. But Rajamouli has now clarified that Varanasi will be a single-part film.

The film’s team recently interacted with Hollywood media and shared several interesting details. Rajamouli explained that Varanasi is named after one of the world’s most ancient cities, deeply revered by millions for its cultural and religious significance. He said the weight carried by the name makes him feel even more responsible in how it is portrayed on screen.

No Sequels for Varanasi: A Grand Visual Experience

He also revealed that visually grand sequences, including portions inspired by the Ramayana and scenes set in Antarctica, required the IMAX format. According to him, IMAX is best suited to capture the film’s tall and expansive visuals.

Speaking about the runtime, Rajamouli confirmed that the film will be around three hours long and reiterated that Varanasi is planned as a standalone, single-part film.

Lavanya Tripathi Slams Tamil Journalist

Lavanya Konidela Tripathi, actor Varun Tej’s wife and daughter-in-law of Megastar Chiranjeevi, strongly defended the veteran actor after a Tamil journalist attempted to troll him on social media.

Recently, Chiranjeevi and his family shared joyful news that Ram Charan and Upasana were blessed with twins on January 31, 2026. What should have been a moment of celebration, however, was marred by online trolling.

The enthusiasm from Mega fans unfortunately turned into online trolls

The backlash intensified when Ram Charan arrived at Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad to visit the newborns. While carrying his two-year-old daughter, Klin Kaara, he was surrounded by a massive crowd of fans. The incident drew criticism, with many condemning the fans’ behavior and pointing out that crackers were burst at midnight within the hospital premises.

Netizens also brought up an old comment by Chiranjeevi, where he had expressed a desire for a grandson to carry forward the family legacy.

Amid this, a Tamil journalist made a controversial tweet targeting Chiranjeevi, and Lavanya Konidela Tripathi stepped in and gave a strong response, following which the journalist reportedly deleted his tweet after facing heavy backlash from fans.

Lavanya’s Strong Response to Trolls Against Chiranjeevi

“I usually ignore tweets like this and let them pass on my timeline, but I didn’t expect it from you. This tweet is in extremely poor taste, turning a genuinely happy moment into something unpleasant. You clearly don’t know how he treats the women in his family, especially his granddaughters. Very few men can do even one percent of what he does, so it’s best not to comment on people you don’t truly know.”

In one of the interviews for Varanasi, Mahesh Babu said that Rajamouli’s narration completely blew his mind.

At the announcement event held a few months ago, Varanasi received an overwhelming response. Around the same time, the team also interacted with international media, and excerpts from those interviews are now going viral.

One statement from Mahesh Babu has especially caught fans’ attention. Speaking about his experience, the superstar said that Rajamouli’s narration completely blew his mind. He shared that while the scale of the film initially felt intimidating and even made him nervous, Rajamouli gradually eased him into the process. Mahesh Babu added that he is now thoroughly enjoying working on the ambitious project.

Sankranthi 2027: Festival Slot Already Packed

Telugu audiences enjoyed multiple successful releases this Sankranthi, including Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, Anaganaga Oka Raju, and Nari Nari Naduma Murari, all of which performed well at the box office. Now, Sankranthi 2027 is shaping up to be even bigger, with the festive release slots already packed.

Several major films are aiming for a Sankranthi 2027 release, including:

– Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi’s film
– Chiranjeevi and Bobby’s film
– Balakrishna and Gopichand Malineni’s film
– Naga Chaitanya and Harish Shankar’s film
– Sharwanand and Sreenu Vaitla’s film

The announcement of these five films has greatly excited fans. Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi have already delivered two Sankranthi blockbusters with F2 and Sankranthiki Vasthuna, and the duo will be aiming for a hat-trick at Sankranthi 2027.

Balakrishna and Gopichand Malineni earlier scored a Sankranthi hit with Veera Simha Reddy, while in the same season, Chiranjeevi delivered a blockbuster with Waltair Veerayya under Bobby’s direction. Sharwanand, who has enjoyed multiple Sankranthi successes including Nari Nari Naduma Murari, is once again set to release a film during his favorite festival. Naga Chaitanya also joins the festive race with a film directed by Harish Shankar.

Naga Chaitanya Aims for Sankranthi Release

Naga Chaitanya is said to have signed a project with Sithara Entertainments, and Harish Shankar is in discussions to direct this film. If everything goes well, the movie’s team is planning for a Sankranthi 2027 release.

Interestingly, the first film of Sithara Entertainments by Naga Vamsi was Premam (2016), which starred Naga Chaitanya. Now, the combination is getting repeated after almost a decade. Another interesting point is that, to date, Naga Chaitanya has only released one film during the Sankranthi festival, and that is Bangarraju (2022).

Naga Chaitanya Set to Release Two Films in a Small Timeframe

Chaitanya is currently working with Virupaksha fame Karthik Dandu on Vrushakarma, a mythical action thriller targeting a late summer or 2nd half release this year.

The film’s title and first-look poster received a positive response, and it stars Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead and Sparsh Shrivastava (of Laapataa Ladies fame) as the antagonist. Veteran actor Jayaram also plays a key role.

Sai Pallavi in Kalki 2898 AD: Big Budget Relief, Bigger Challenge Ahead

The Telugu cinema fans received news that actress Sai Pallavi enters the Kalki sequel in place of Deepika Padukone. Currently there are many discussions on social media about this change and how it will fit in the film’s journey. 

But if we observe, Sai Pallavi replacing Deepika Padukone in Kalki sequel saves the producers at least ₹30 crore in the budget due to differences in remuneration and terms. But it will be a big challenge for Sai Pallavi and the team to match the screen presence and impact of Deepika from the first part.

Nag Ashwin directs this film and Vyajayanthi Movies produces it. Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan will reprise their roles from the first part, and audiences have big expectations for the film, which will start its shoot soon.

Chiranjeevi and Bobby set to deliver another blockbuster following the success of Waltair Veerayya

The Chiranjeevi-Bobby combination has a special craze among fans, as the duo’s previous film, Waltair Veeraiya, was a blockbuster at the box office. Keeping that success in mind, expectations have increased immensely for the upcoming ‘Mega 158.’ 

The film is said to be a powerful gangster action drama, and there is a buzz that Mohanlal and Krithi Shetty also will be seen in crucial roles in this film, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

Dhurandhar 2 Teaser: Fans Disappointed

There is massive excitement around the sequel to the blockbuster Dhurandhar. When the makers announced the release of the teaser, fans were thrilled. But the excitement soon turned into disappointment, as the teaser of Dhurandhar 2 did not feature any new visuals.
