It has been exactly one year since the last piece of promotional content from SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu’s Varanasi. The GlobeTrotter event promised a journey around the world, but a year later, the promotions still haven’t taken off.
The GlobeTrotter Event
The GlobeTrotter title launch event took place on November 15, 2025, at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. It was a massive celebration, and the film’s title, Varanasi, was revealed to the world.
A Year of Nothing
In the year since, the makers haven’t released a single piece of promotional content:
No glimpse or teaser
No songs
No first looks of the actors
No making videos
The only official update has been the release date. The makers announced in January that Varanasi will release worldwide on April 7, 2027. Fans have actually learnt more from Priyanka Chopra’s recent interview, where she confirmed the April release and revealed that the team recreated the entire Varanasi ghats in Hyderabad, than from the makers themselves.
Postponement Talk, and Still Silence
Adding to the worry, there is now talk of a possible postponement doing the rounds. The team has stayed completely silent, neither confirming nor denying it.
With the release less than five months away and no promotions in sight, that silence is only making fans more anxious.
Rajamouli’s Style
Rajamouli is known for keeping his films under wraps and then launching his campaigns with a big impact. For RRR and Baahubali, he released carefully planned content that built massive excitement in the months before release.
Fans will be hoping Varanasi follows the same path. For now, though, the GlobeTrotter is still waiting at the airport for its first flight.
