Mahesh Babu was last seen in Guntur Kaaram, which released during Sankranthi 2024. Since then, he has been fully immersed in his ambitious, big-budget venture Varanasi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli. The film is slated for a grand theatrical release on April 7, 2027.
Marking Mahesh Babu’s first full-fledged pan-India outing, Varanasi is widely expected to be a major turning point in his career, with the potential to elevate his stature to a global level.
Once the Rajamouli project wraps up, Mahesh plans to move swiftly into back-to-back films. Reports suggest he is negotiating a significantly higher remuneration for his upcoming ventures. Mythri Movie Makers is likely to bankroll his next film, while discussions are also underway with producer Asian Suniel for another project.
With a clear roadmap in place, Mahesh Babu is aiming to release three films over the three years following Varanasi, setting the stage for one of the busiest and most defining phases of his career
