SS Rajamouli's 'Varanasi' Posters: Epic Teases for the 2027 Beast

SS Rajamouli's latest, Varanasi (ex-Globetrotter), dropped its first-look posters at a wild Hyderabad event on Nov 15, 2025—think 50K fans, IMAX vibes, and a 4-min teaser blending mythology, time-travel, and action. Budget? Over ₹1000 crore. Cast: Mahesh Babu as Rudhra (fierce warrior), Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Mandakini (badass in a sari), Prithviraj Sukumaran as Kumbha (cyber-villain). It's two 3-hour parts, hitting Sankranti 2027. Posters scream RRR-level grandeur: ancient gods, charging bulls, pistols on cliffs. Honest take: Hype's real, but after RRR's Oscar glow, this feels like Rajamouli chasing bigger—contradicting the "flop risk" whispers, it's primed to smash global box office if the VFX holds.
