Rajamouli’s Varanasi Takes First Step to Global Stage with CCXP Event

The upcoming film Varanasi is creating a lot of excitement in Indian cinema. The movie stars Mahesh Babu in the lead role and is directed by famous filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli. Known for making grand and successful films, Rajamouli is once again working on a big project that aims to reach audiences worldwide.

The film also features well-known actors like Prithviraj Sukumaran and Priyanka Chopra in important roles. With such a strong cast, expectations are already very high. The movie is planned for a global release on April 7, 2027, and it is being designed especially for IMAX screens, which means viewers can expect a rich and large-scale visual experience.

In a recent update, producer S. S. Karthikeya confirmed that Varanasi will be showcased at CCXP Mexico 2026 on April 24, 2026. This is a big step for the film, as it helps introduce the project to an international audience even before its release. Karthikeya will attend the event in person, while Rajamouli will connect with fans through a recorded video message.

At the event, the team plans to reveal special content from the film. This includes early visuals and behind-the-scenes clips that have not been shown before. Fans attending the event will also get a chance to hear about the film’s vision and making process directly from the producer.

On the shooting side, the team recently completed a major schedule in Hyderabad. After a short break, they are expected to continue filming soon. The movie is being produced by KL Narayana under Sri Durga Arts, along with Karthikeya’s Showing Business banner.

With a massive budget of around Rs. 1200 crore and music by Oscar-winning composer M. M. Keeravani, Varanasi is shaping up to be one of the biggest Indian films ever made. Its early presence at an international event shows the makers’ aim to take Indian cinema to a global level.
