Ram Gopal Varma reacts to Mahesh-Rajamouli fight. An AI generated video of Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli fighting in the sets of Varanasi started going viral on social media.
The clip depicts the actor and director exchanging punches and smashing each other against walls and tables, without any narrative context. While clearly artificial, the realism of the visuals has triggered debate over the growing use of AI in cinema-related content.
Following this, Ram Gopal Varma, known for his frank and bold comments came up with the following comments. He said “Cinema is dead.”
Varanasi is the most prestigious project and it stars Priyanka Chopra as the female lead while Prithviraj Sukmaran and Prakash Raj are playing key roles. The film's music is tuned by Keeravani and the film is set for a grand release on 7 April 2026.
Vijayendra Prasad provided story for the film in which Mahesh will be seen in the roles of Rudra and Lord Rama.
