Superstar Mahesh Babu’s highly anticipated collaboration with visionary filmmaker SS Rajamouli officially began with the grand launch of their film titled Varanasi. The glimpse released by the team immediately created a storm across social media, pulling viewers into a world that moves between timelines, mythological eras, and futuristic threats. The project promises a scale never attempted before in Telugu cinema, marking Mahesh Babu’s most ambitious role to date.

What follows is a thrilling shift across continents, touching Antarctica, Africa, and dense Vanaanchal landscapes before the narrative transports the audience back to Tretayugam, around 7200 BCE. This is where Mahesh Babu appears in the powerful avatar of Rudra, holding a trishul while riding Nandi, creating an unforgettable visual impact. Mahesh described this as a dream project and expressed hope that the film will make audiences worldwide proud.

The musical world of the film is composed by MM Keeravaani, further elevating expectations.
