Varanasi having Kalki shades. Rajamouli's Varanasi starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra in the lead roles is generating immense interest among movie lovers.
Now, reports are coming that the Varanasi is having Kalki shades. A source shares “While Kalki 2898 AD was set in a near dystopian future, Varanasi travels in the opposite direction. The narrative moves across multiple yugas — from Treta Yuga to Kali Yuga — while also spanning continents, from Antarctica to Africa. In scale and spirit, it feels like a mythological globetrotting adventure, reminiscent of an Indiana Jones style quest rooted in Indian history and philosophy.”
The synopsis of Varanasi also confirms the same. The synopsis reads “When an asteroid hits the city of Varanasi in India, what are the events that it leads to? Is the world about to be doomed? Does it need a saviour who must traverse continents and timelines to influence the most crucial moment in the history of Earth?”
A source shares “Time travel has long been a popular narrative device in Japanese, Chinese and Korean cinema, but it has been sparingly explored on Indian screens. Given Rajamouli’s long standing fascination with Indian mythology and epic storytelling, it would be wonderful to see his vision unfold on screens.”
