Mahesh Babu Felt Scared After Hearing Varanasi Story

The upcoming movie Varanasi is one of the most ambitious projects ever made in Indian cinema. Directed by SS Rajamouli, the film stars Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra in lead roles. From the very beginning, the scale and idea of the film have created huge excitement among fans.

However recently Mahesh Babu revealed that when he first heard the story of Varanasi, he was honestly scared. The story was so big and so different that it made him nervous. He even told his wife that the size of the film frightened him. The world, the visuals and the responsibility of carrying such a massive project made him think deeply before moving forward.

However, that fear did not last long. As Rajamouli explained the story in detail, Mahesh Babu slowly started trusting the vision. Rajamouli’s strong storytelling style and clear narration impressed him deeply. The way the director connected emotions with a grand concept gave the actor a lot of confidence. Today, Mahesh Babu feels calm and relaxed about the film and believes he is in safe hands.

The story of Varanasi is inspired by ancient Indian myths and has a deep connection with the Ramayana. Rajamouli revealed that the film takes inspiration from a real episode in the epic. Still, he made it clear that audiences do not need any prior knowledge of mythology to enjoy the movie. According to him, understanding the emotions of the characters is more than enough.

The film is set against the backdrop of the ancient city of Varanasi. The plot involves a dangerous asteroid moving towards Earth, with the city at the center of the threat. Mahesh Babu plays a powerful character named Rudra, who rises like a superhero to stop the destruction and save the world. Priyanka Chopra plays Mandakini, a mysterious thief whose emotional bond with Rudra becomes the heart of the film.
