Varanasi Movie: 200 Days to Go for Rajamouli's Biggest Epic Yet
The countdown has officially begun. SS Rajamouli's Varanasi, one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema history, is now roughly 200 days away from its theatrical release on April 7, 2027.
The date was chosen to coincide with Ugadi, the Telugu New Year, giving fans a festive occasion to mark on their calendars.
Starring Mahesh Babu as the globe-trotting, time-traveling protagonist Rudhra, alongside Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Mandakini and Prithviraj Sukumaran as Kumbha, Varanasi reunites Rajamouli with his RRR composer MM Keeravaani.
Bankrolled by KL Narayana and SS Karthikeya under Sri Durga Arts, the film is reportedly mounted on a budget of around ₹1,400 crore, making it one of the most expensive Indian productions ever attempted.
Set against a mythological backdrop inspired by the holy city of Varanasi, the film blends jungle-adventure elements with an apocalyptic, asteroid-strike visual revealed in the official release-date poster.
Trade reports also indicate Varanasi will be presented in Cinemascope and premium large-format IMAX, a first for Telugu cinema if confirmed closer to release.
As of today, exactly 201 days remain until the film hits screens — close enough to round to the 200-day mark, and Kirakposter readers can expect this countdown to become a recurring feature as new posters, teasers, and trailer drops are announced.
With production still underway across massive sets built in Hyderabad, fans in India and worldwide are watching closely for the next update from Team Varanasi.
