About Varanasi
Varanasi will be Mahesh Babu’s next film after the 2024 Trivikram Srinivas film Guntur Kaaram. The film went on floors quietly in January this year, but Mahesh began training for it in 2024. It was only officially announced in November at a grand event held in Hyderabad. Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran also star in the action-adventure film, which will be released in theatres for Sankranthi 2027.
