The production team of Varanasi has commenced its filming schedule in Antarctica. This phase is not a routine shoot; it is a particularly demanding and intricate operation, possibly involving complex VFX shots. Once these sequences are completed, the project will reach a major milestone. A shift in the production process is expected to follow this phase.
Varanasi at CCXP
Parallel to the action in Antarctica, the film is entering the international spotlight. A major promotional event is taking place in Mexico City today at CCXP (Comic Con Experience) to introduce the film to global audiences. Renowned filmmaker SS Rajamouli is scheduled to deliver a special recorded address during the event. Attendees will also be shown exclusive behind-the-scenes footage prepared for this occasion. The programme will conclude with an interactive session where the creators engage directly with fans. Speculation remains high regarding the presence of lead star Mahesh Babu at the event. While he participated in an interview late last year, his physical presence today remains unconfirmed.
Varanasi, a globe-trotting spectacle
Varanasi operates within the globe-trotting action genre, aiming to rival the scale of major international franchises. At today’s Mexico event, expectations are high for a new update. If Rajamouli reveals a teaser date, the event could make headlines. Updates on the film have often arrived unexpectedly. For instance, the release date was first revealed earlier this year through a billboard in the city of Varanasi. It was only the next day that Rajamouli shared the official poster on social media. So, it would not be surprising if the team has planned another sudden reveal today.
The plot follows the adventures of Rudhra (Mahesh Babu) as the city of Varanasi faces the impending arrival of an asteroid, with the narrative spanning multiple timelines. The film remains scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on April 7, 2027.
