The highly anticipated trailer for SS Rajamouli's upcoming film, Varanasi, dropped in Hyderabad on Saturday, giving fans a glimpse into the epic story. Starring Mahesh Babu as Rudhra, the 3-minute 40-second trailer is packed with intricate details that reveal the film's complex narrative. One of the standout features of the title design is its resemblance to a bow, with a curve and detailing that imply a connection to time travel. The use of the Sanskrit character ā in the title, Vaaranaasi, suggests that the pronunciation is indeed Vaaranaasi. Rudhra's character takes the audience on a thrilling journey across time and space, from Antarctica to Africa, and even to ancient Trethayuga. In one scene, he's seen driving a chariot with Prithviraj Sukumaran's Kumbha close behind, hinting at a war between Ram and Kumbhakarna. The trailer also highlights the connection between Maata Chhinnamasta Devi and Mandakini, with a mysterious statue of the Goddess appearing in the Ugrabhatti Cave. Meanwhile, a woman dressed in a red saree is seen falling through an opening, echoing Priyanka Chopra's character in her first look as Mandakini. Another interesting detail is the asteroid named Shambhavi, which falls on Earth in 2027, the year the film is set to release. The yagna performed by sages in 512 CE in Vaaranaasi appears to have triggered a butterfly effect, leading to the asteroid's arrival. Rajamouli confirmed that the film is indeed titled Varanasi, as rumored earlier. The trailer's visuals, with their intricate curves and details, hint at a complex narrative that spans across time and space. Varanasi is slated for release in theatres for Sankranthi 2027.
