The film features Mahesh Babu in the lead role, with Priyanka Chopra cast as the female protagonist. Prithviraj Sukumaran will be seen as the main antagonist, adding further intrigue to the narrative. In an interesting revelation, SS Rajamouli disclosed that Mahesh Babu will also appear briefly as Lord Rama, a detail that has significantly heightened excitement among fans.
Story and Theme
Varanasi is said to be built around the concept of time travel, blending elements of mythology, history, and action. Designed on a massive scale, the film aims to deliver a visually grand and emotionally powerful cinematic experience.
Production Details
The ambitious project is backed by an elite creative team, with SS Rajamouli at the helm, V. Vijayendra Prasad penning the story, and MM Keeravani composing the music.
