S. Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu are teaming up for a highly anticipated film titled Varanasi, which is expected to hit theaters on April 15, 2027. This date is being considered because Mahesh Babu is likely to play a character inspired by Lord Rama, making the occasion of Rama Navami a fitting backdrop for the release.
There are reports that the filmmakers are looking into the possibility of shooting some scenes at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, although this plan depends on obtaining the necessary approvals.
If the release date is confirmed, Varanasi will be one of the most strategically timed films in recent Indian cinema, intertwining Rajamouli’s grand storytelling with a significant cultural celebration.
