After the release of the title teaser for Varanasi in November 2025, about a dozen fan theories cropped up online. It's time to gauge how many of those theories could come close to reality.
Today, writer Vijayendra Prasad has hinted at what we are supposed to gear up to watch on the big screen. The film, helmed by SS Rajamouli, will be about an epic war between Mahesh Babu's Lord Rama and Prithviraj Sukumaran's Kumbhakarna.
The majestic war episode will last about 30 minutes. It is going to stun in such a way that everyone is going to get up and take notice. This flagship stretch is going to be where the film's essence will be obvious. Kumbhakarna is incapacitated from the neck down in the epic time-travel fantasy movie.
Varanasi also features Priyanka Chopra (as Mandakini) and Prakash Raj. The film's music is composed by MM Keeravani. Adipurush fame Mohan Bingi is its production designer. The film will head to theatres on 7 April 2027.
