Priyanka Chopra has offered an exciting update about SS Rajamouli’s ambitious film Varanasi, confirming that the project is scheduled to arrive in April. During a recent interview, the actress also revealed an interesting production detail, disclosing that the entire Varanasi ghats were recreated in Hyderabad. Speaking about the magic of filmmaking, she said, “I have a movie coming out in April, Varanasi, and we re-created the entire Varanasi ghats in a completely different city, Hyderabad. That’s the magic of the movies, and it’s one of the things I’m a big fan of.” Her comments have renewed excitement among fans who have been eagerly waiting for updates.
Varanasi Ghats Recreated in Hyderabad
The revelation about the recreated ghats offers a glimpse into the scale of Rajamouli’s production. Instead of filming at the actual locations in the holy city, the team has constructed an elaborate recreation in Hyderabad. The filmmaker is known for building expansive cinematic worlds, from Mahishmati in Baahubali to the grand sets of RRR. Recreating the Varanasi ghats, complete with temples, steps and riverfront elements, reflects the attention to detail and production scale envisioned for this project.
Varanasi Release Date and Cast Details
The makers announced in January that Varanasi would release worldwide on April 7, 2027. However, limited updates since the announcement had fuelled speculation about a possible postponement. Priyanka’s latest comments have offered reassurance that the April release plan remains in place. Directed by SS Rajamouli, the ambitious project features Mahesh Babu in the lead, alongside Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran in key roles. With its massive production scale and international ambitions, Varanasi is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Indian films of 2027.
