SS Rajamouli’s upcoming film Varanasi, starring Mahesh Babu, was officially unveiled last night with a grand title announcement and a glimpse that hinted at massive visual scope. The teaser showcased multiple worlds and time‑lines, making it clear the project will rely heavily on extensive VFX. Many viewers expressed doubts about a summer 2027 release given the scale of effects required, yet Rajamouli and the production team remain confident in meeting the target.
To tackle the demanding graphics, the studio has divided the workload among five separate VFX teams, with each team handling a distinct timeline and universe. This parallel approach allows simultaneous progress across all visual segments, and work began well in advance. Rajamouli is personally supervising every output, while the shoot continues to feed fresh content directly to the VFX units for uninterrupted processing.
The schedule calls for all visual work to be completed by the end of 2026, leaving ample time for worldwide promotions and a March‑end 2027 theatrical window. The aggressive promotion plan and the combined expertise of multiple VFX partners aim to ensure the film hits screens in the summer of 2027 without further delays.
With the official announcement behind them and a robust production pipeline in place, Varanasi is shaping up to be one of 2027’s most anticipated releases, promising a blend of Mahesh Babu’s star power, Rajamouli’s storytelling, and groundbreaking visual effects. Fans can expect further updates as the teams move closer to the projected March 2027 launch.
