Varanasi, one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema, is generating massive excitement as it brings together superstar Mahesh Babu and visionary filmmaker SS Rajamouli. The director is planning a grand cinematic spectacle, and the latest update about the film’s theatrical business has created a buzz in trade circles.
According to reports, Mythri Movie Distributors LLP has acquired the Telugu theatrical rights of Varanasi for a staggering Rs. 300 crore. This massive deal reflects the enormous expectations surrounding the project and its potential at the box office.
The film’s digital business is also reportedly fetching a huge deal, with Netflix said to have acquired its OTT rights. However, the makers have yet to officially confirm the details of these business agreements.
The globetrotting adventure features Prithviraj Sukumaran, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Prakash Raj and several other prominent actors in key roles. Produced on a grand scale under the Sri Durga Arts and Showing Business banners, the film has music composed by Oscar-winning composer M. M. Keeravaani.
Varanasi is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on April 7, 2027, in multiple languages. With its massive reported pre-release business and the combination of Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu, expectations are already sky-high.
