After a full year of silence, the Varanasi team has finally shared an update, and it came in the most unexpected way. Replying to a fan on X, the film’s official handle revealed exactly where SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu’s film stands.
A Fan’s Question
The update came just hours after the GlobeTrotter event’s first anniversary. A fan asked the official Varanasi account, in Telugu, “Is there any update or not, master?”, along with a sad GIF.
The Official Reply
The Varanasi handle replied in Telugu and English. In English, the reply reads:
“Shooting is complete. Post-production is happening… CG works going on. RR (re-recording) going on… Dubbing has to start… If you think this is an update, it’s an update. If not, you have to wait for a bit for the blast.”
The playful reply has quickly gone viral among fans.
Where Varanasi Stands
Shooting: Complete
Post-production: In progress
CG work: In progress
Re-recording (background score): In progress
Dubbing: Yet to start
A Big Relief for Fans
The reply is a big relief for fans. Confirming that the shoot is complete, and that CG, re-recording and other post-production work is in full swing, also calms the recent talk of a postponement, since the film is clearly moving steadily towards its April 7, 2027 release.
“Wait for the Blast”
The best part of the reply is the promise at the end: “you have to wait for a bit for the blast.” It’s a clear hint that a big promotional reveal is on the way, and after a year of waiting, fans will be counting the day.
