Varanasi: Rajamouli's Mythic Epic Aims to Outscale Avatar
S.S. Rajamouli’s next epic Varanasi is pitched as a genre‑defying, scale‑busting adventure that dwarfs Avatar, blending Hindu myth with an expansive time‑spanning narrative. With Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Mahesh Babu, production includes location work in Africa and extensive greenscreen, and the film is targeted for a April 7, 2027 release. Cast and filmmakers describe Varanasi as Rajamouli’s biggest, most ambitious project yet, pushing beyond conventional labels.
