The highly anticipated sequence reportedly required nearly 60 days of filming. Rajamouli described the process as one of the toughest challenges of his career, explaining that every segment had to be designed and executed from scratch.
The filmmaker believes the completed sequence will stand among the most memorable moments not only in his filmography but also in Mahesh Babu’s career. Such confidence from a director known for blockbusters has only heightened expectations.
Interestingly, earlier promotional material led many fans to speculate that Varanasi could involve elements of time travel. While the makers have remained tight-lipped about the plot, the latest revelations suggest a unique blend of mythology, adventure and large-scale cinematic storytelling.
Adding to the excitement, the film also stars Priyanka Chopra, marking her return to Indian cinema. With a planned release in 2027, Varanasi is already shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited Indian films of the decade.
