Rajamouli's Varanasi is the cynosure of all eyes. The film starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra is racing for a grand release on 7 April 2026.
According to the latest, Rajamouli is shooting key scenes at Annapurna Studios, Hyderabad. It is known that Te A&M MoCap Lab has been established at Annapurna Studios by Nagarjuna Akkineni’s Annapurna Studios and visionary producer Shobu Yarlagadda’s Mihira Visual Labs. It is powered by Hollywood-based technology partner Animatrik Film Design, which is globally renowned for its expertise in performance capture.
Rajamouli speaking about it, said “India has always had some of the world’s best technicians contributing to major global productions, but what we lacked was an advanced facility right here at home. When I look back at films like Bahubali and Eega, I often think how much more could have been achieved if motion capture technology was available in India at that time.”
He added “This will change how Indian filmmakers envision and execute their stories, as we will no longer need to outsource. I have visited several motion capture facilities across the world, but what A&M offers is a perfect blend of precision and performance. We utilised this facility for crucial sequences in Varanasi, and the results were simply fantastic,”
