Varanasi, the ambitious globe-trotting action adventure headlined by Mahesh Babu and directed by S. S. Rajamouli, is back in focus with a fresh update from Priyanka Chopra. The film, which also features Prithviraj Sukumaran in a key role, is scheduled to hit screens on April 7, 2027.

Priyanka took to Instagram to share a snapshot captioned “Varanasi, here we go!”, confirming her arrival for the latest shoot. This development follows reports that the earlier Hyderabad schedule was paused due to water shortage concerns.

Produced by K. L. Narayana and S. S. Karthikeya, the big-budget spectacle also stars R. Madhavan and Prakash Raj in pivotal roles, with music composed by M. M. Keeravaani.
