S.S. Rajamouli's upcoming epic action-adventure film, officially titled 'Varanasi,' continues to generate significant buzz, particularly concerning its potential release date. The film, which features Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu, global icon Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, is one of the most anticipated projects in Indian cinema. Initially known as 'SSMB29' or 'Globetrotter,' 'Varanasi' has a reported budget of over ₹1300 crore, positioning it as one of India's most expensive films. While there is widespread speculation, including the article from 123telugu.com, that Rajamouli might make a 'big announcement' regarding the release date on a 'special day,' specifically March 26, 2026, coinciding with Sri Rama Navami, this remains unconfirmed by the filmmakers. Numerous reports suggest that the film is eyeing a grand theatrical release in March or April 2027, with April 9, 2027, being a frequently cited date, aligning with the auspicious festival of Sri Rama Navami. Other dates like March 25, 2027, coinciding with the fifth anniversary of Rajamouli's 'RRR,' have also been mentioned. Priyanka Chopra Jonas's involvement marks her return to Indian cinema after several years, adding to the film's global appeal. The project commenced principal photography in early 2025 and involves extensive international schedules and significant VFX work. The film's teaser has already been unveiled at events in Hyderabad and notably, at a historic screening at Le Grand Rex theatre in Paris, underscoring its ambition for a worldwide audience. Despite the intense media speculation and fan excitement, an official confirmation of the exact release date or an announcement event is still awaited from the production house.
