SS Rajamouli has once again captured the attention of audiences worldwide with his upcoming film, Varanasi, featuring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj in leading roles. The film’s teaser has gone viral, sparking excitement among fans eager to learn more.
In a recent update, we’ve learned that Varanasi will be made on an impressive budget of Rs. 1300 crores, with this figure not including expenses for marketing and promotion. According to a trusted insider, this budget may seem modest compared to projects like A6 and Ramayana, which are reportedly costing between Rs. 1500 to Rs. 2000 crores. However, Rajamouli aims to create a film of even greater visual scope for a lower cost.
Sources suggest that Rajamouli has meticulously planned and designed his scenes ahead of time, optimizing his shooting process to save both time and money. Known for his organizational skills, he ensures that everything is mapped out before filming begins, allowing for efficient execution on set. This strategic approach is expected to result in a film that visually exceeds prior productions in India.
Additionally, it was reported that the recent Globetrotter event, part of the film’s promotional activities, was one of the largest conducted in India, costing Rs. 20 crores. The scale of the event reflects the grand vision for Varanasi.
The film is slated for release in 2027, and anticipation continues to grow as more details emerge.
