After much speculation about the grand-scale saga, SS Rajamouli recently shared a major update on Varanasi, offering fans a fresh insight into his much-awaited project.
After witnessing massive success with his previous projects like RRR, Baahubali, and more, SS Rajamouli is once again gearing up to cement his legacy with yet another highly anticipated movie, Varanasi. It features a powerhouse ensemble cast featuring Mahesh Babu, Prithviraj and marks the grand return of Priyanka Chopra to Indian cinema. After much speculation about his next feature film, Rajamouli has revealed what audiences can expect from this action thriller, sparking online buzz.
SS Rajamouli reveals Varanasi as 'one film'
Filmmaker SS Rajamouli is currently working on his ambitious project, Varanasi, which is being extensively shot on a custom-built Varanasi temple set at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. Additionally, the film’s international schedules have reportedly taken place in Kenya, Georgia, and Antarctica.
Screenings were held for his films RRR and Eega at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in France recently. On June 27, the director spoke about his upcoming film Varanasi and made a big announcement that, unlike Baahubali, Varanasi will be a standalone film rather than a franchise.
During the conversation, the RRR director briefly explained to the fans what they can expect from his next movie. He stated, "You are going to experience the cold and ice of Antarctica. The gods of Ramayana, the natural disasters, and the fantastic elements. That's the experience you are going to have, but at the core of all this are the emotions of father and son. All this makes Varanasi for you."
The director was asked whether his star-studded film would be a single film or a franchise, to which Rajamouli answered, "One film. Yes, one film."
