Renowned director SS Rajamouli unveiled the first look trailer of his highly anticipated film Varanasi at a recent event in Hyderabad. The star-studded cast, including Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, were also in attendance. Set for a 2027 release, Varanasi will follow a global hero as he confronts mythic forces across continents, shot in IMAX and the 1.43:1 aspect ratio. Rajamouli expressed his excitement about introducing IMAX technology to Telugu cinema, describing it as a premium, large-scale format. However, when fans pointed out the lack of IMAX screens in Hyderabad, the director expressed his hope that the city will have at least one IMAX screen in the 1.43 aspect ratio by the time Varanasi releases. The film's announcement video has sparked immense buzz on social media, depicting an asteroid crash and hinting at connections to the ancient epic, the Ramayana. The movie promises an epic adventure, with Mahesh Babu wielding a trident and riding a bull amidst the scenic temples of Varanasi. Priyanka Chopra plays the role of Mandakini, while Prithviraj Sukumaran takes on the antagonist Kumbha. As fans continue to show their love and support for Varanasi, Rajamouli has expressed his gratitude to the team and the audience alike.
