The film will be showcased at the Thunder Stage, where a dedicated panel is planned. Audiences will be shown a special presentation titled Varanasi to the World, along with behind-the-scenes footage created specifically for the event.
It has been confirmed that SS Rajamouli will address audiences through a recorded message, while the session will also feature an interactive segment offering insights into the film’s scale and vision.

Rajamouli’s vision and Varanasi’s massive scale
Mounted on a reported budget of around Rs 1,200 crore, Varanasi is being designed as a spectacle-driven experience, with plans for an IMAX release already in place. The production has invested heavily in building detailed sets that recreate the ghats and temples associated with the city, reinforcing its visual ambition.
A storyline that surfaced online suggests a narrative centred on a Shiva devotee on a time-travelling quest, tied to a larger conspiracy involving a powerful artefact. While official plot details remain limited, the premise hints at a blend of mythology and large-scale adventure.
The film has already generated buzz following an early showcase at a trailer event in Paris, and its presence at Mexico ComicCon further expands its global reach.
Varanasi is currently scheduled for a worldwide release on April 7, 2027.
