Buzz About Varanasi New Release Date

Mahesh Babu's upcoming pan Indian adventure film Varanasi, directed by SS Rajamouli, has become one of the most anticipated projects in Indian cinema. The film marks the first collaboration between the superstar and the master filmmaker. Priyanka Chopra and Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran are playing key roles, adding to the excitement surrounding the project.

The makers have previously announced April 7, 2027, as the worldwide theatrical release date. However, fresh speculation on social media suggests that Varanasi might miss its originally planned date due to its ambitious scale and extensive production work. Reports about a possible postponement have started circulating, leaving Mahesh Babu's fans wondering whether the release plans have changed.

According to the latest industry buzz, the makers are reportedly considering August 2027 for the film's release. August 9 is particularly special as it marks Mahesh Babu's birthday. This has sparked speculation that the team could target his birthday for the theatrical arrival, although no such decision has been officially announced.

Mahesh Babu will reportedly be seen as Rudhra, while Priyanka Chopra plays Mandakini and Prithviraj Sukumaran appears as Kumbha. The film is also expected to feature a special Ramayana connection, with Mahesh Babu portraying Lord Rama in a particular episode. Produced on a massive scale, Varanasi is expected to offer an adventurous cinematic experience with international locations and grand visuals. For now, April 7, 2027, remains the announced release date, and fans will have to wait for an official update from Rajamouli and the production team regarding any possible change.
