Mahesh Babu fans may have to wait a little longer for the first glimpse of SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi. With the superstar’s birthday on August 9 fast approaching, speculation was rife that the makers would unveil the Mahesh Babu Varanasi teaser as a special treat. However, the latest industry buzz suggests that the team has decided against releasing the teaser on the occasion and is instead planning to unveil it only after the film’s shoot is fully wrapped up. An official confirmation from the makers is still awaited.
Teaser Release After Shoot Completion
The reported decision comes as Varanasi enters the final leg of production. Rajamouli recently revealed that the film has around 80 shooting days remaining, with the major action sequences already completed. The remaining schedule is expected to be wrapped up by September or October 2026, after which the team is likely to shift its focus to post-production and the film’s promotional campaign.
Special Birthday Update Still On Cards
While fans may not get the teaser on Mahesh Babu’s birthday, reports indicate that the makers are still planning a special birthday update to mark the occasion. Whether it’s a new poster, a character glimpse or another promotional asset remains under wraps.
Starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran, Varanasi is one of Indian cinema’s most anticipated films. The film was officially unveiled in November 2025 and is currently scheduled to hit theatres on April 7, 2027.
