To be released in two parts
Sources close to Rajamouli revealed this plan. They say the massive success of the ‘Dhurandhar’ series, which also came in two parts and earned thousands of crores, inspired this decision.

The ‘Varanasi’ story has a huge canvas. The team feels it’s almost impossible to tell the whole story properly in just three hours. A two-part release seems like the only way.
