Directed by SS Rajamouli and starring superstar Mahesh Babu, ‘Varanasi’ is one of the most anticipated pan-world films. The action-adventure is being produced on a massive budget by KL Narayana and SS Karthikeya. Mahesh Babu will be seen as Rudra, while Prithviraj Sukumaran plays the antagonist Kumbha and Priyanka Chopra portrays Mandakini. The film is currently in production and is scheduled to release on April 7, 2027.
‘Varanasi’ has already generated huge expectations, with the Ramayana segment becoming one of the most talked-about aspects of the film. Whenever updates related to ‘The Ramayana’ emerge, new discussions about the Ramayana portions in ‘Varanasi’ also surface. Amid this growing curiosity, SS Rajamouli has reportedly revealed some interesting details about the segment. While reports suggest that the film will feature around 25 minutes of Ramayana-related footage, the director has clarified that it will not be presented as a single continuous episode.
Instead, the Ramayana portions are expected to be integrated into the story at crucial points rather than shown as one standalone sequence. This has further raised curiosity about how Rajamouli has connected the epic with the film’s storyline and Mahesh Babu’s character. Audiences are now eagerly waiting to see how this unique presentation of the Ramayana will unfold on the big screen.
