Varanasi Plot: Rajamouli’s Madness With Mahesh Babu!

It is already known that Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu are collaborating for their upcoming film Varanasi, which is releasing in theatres next year. In the meanwhile, the plot of the film has started to go viral and let us have a look into the same.

According to a portal online, the plot of Varanasi opens with an asteroid that crashes into the ancient city of Varanasi, and the impact is not just physical but cosmic. Scientists see it as an extinction level event, but ancient texts hint that this moment was foretold. The collision unlocks dormant energies buried beneath the ghats, triggering earthquakes, altered timelines and visions of past and future colliding into one.

Mahesh Babu plays a calm yet mysterious figure who appears ordinary but carries the burden of a forgotten destiny. He is forced to travel across continents and timelines, moving between modern science and ancient wisdom, to identify the one decision that can alter Earth’s fate. Each step reveals that the asteroid is not an accident but a cosmic test, designed to choose a protector rather than destroy humanity.

Rajamouli would present this story with breathtaking scale. Varanasi would be shown as never before, floating ghats, collapsing skies, rivers glowing with divine energy.

Massive action set pieces would blend seamlessly with mythological imagery, while Mahesh Babu’s restrained intensity anchors the spectacle emotionally. The film would feel epic yet intimate, combining global stakes with deeply Indian philosophical roots, turning Varanasi into both a battleground and a spiritual gateway for humanity’s survival.
