Varanasi event
Varanasi's first glimpse was unveiled during the Grand Globe Trotter Event at Ramoji Film City on November 15, 2025, with over 50,000 fans in attendance. It became one of the largest live fan gatherings in Indian entertainment, with a grand spectacle created exclusively for a film announcement.
Prithviraj Sukumaran’s fierce first look as Kumbha and Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s character Mandakini have created anticipation across the nation.
Mahesh Babu’s iconic entry atop a mechanical bull was the highlight of the event. A video was also unveiled where he was seen in a powerful avatar as Rudhra, wielding a trident while mounted on the charging bull, evoking an aura of mythological grandeur.
The event was attended by several prominent personalities from the Telugu film industry. The action-adventure epic reunites Rajamouli with Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravani, who has composed the music of Varanasi.
It has been produced by K.L. Narayana and S.S. Karthikeya under the banner of Sri Durga Arts and Showing Business.
