The most-awaited updates about the SS Rajamouli – Mahesh Babu film were revealed at the Globetrotter event. During the event, it was announced that the title of the film is Varanasi. The film is slated for a 2027 summer release and is a time-traveling film.
The team has also released a pre-visualization video to showcase the film’s massive scale and vision, along with Mahesh Babu’s first look as Rudra. After watching the glimpse, anyone would be shocked at how Rajamouli could imagine something on this scale.
Every visual and every shot is spellbinding. The goosebumps begin the moment the Treta Yuga sequence starts with Lord Rama, and Mahesh Babu’s intense look as Rudra takes the experience to an entirely different level. Everyone expected Rajamouli to take Indian cinema to the next level, but this scale is beyond anything anyone imagined.
Rajamouli also revealed that they filmed an important sequence from the Ramayana for Varanasi, and he said he got goosebumps when he saw Mahesh Babu as Lord Srirama during the photoshoot. He added that the film is being made in a premium large-scale format—full-screen IMAX.
Mahesh Babu said this is his dream project, a once-in-a-lifetime film, and promised to make everyone proud. He added that what the audience saw today is just an introduction, and the final film will be on a whole new level.
After watching the visuals and hearing the cast and crew speak, it is clear that the film is aiming to reach every corner of the global market with its grand vision.
