By: Tupaki Desk | 8 Feb 2026 11:15 PM ISTIt is an established fact that Rajamouli is the most commercially established film maker in Indian cinema in recent years. He is currently collaborating with Mahesh Babu for their upcoming collaboration, Varanasi.
In this context, the latest development are suggesting that Rajamouli is again creating history with the early theatrical business for the film.
Rajamouli continues to create extraordinary records with every film he makes. Ever since Baahubali, a clear pattern has emerged in the Telugu film market.
Each new Rajamouli project has managed to generate nearly double the pre release business compared to the previous biggest film in several territories across the Telugu states. This consistency is rare and highlights the immense trust distributors and exhibitors place in his films.
The early business discussions around his upcoming film Varanasi suggest that this tradition is likely to continue. Initial price quotes being heard from a few territories are described as shocking and far beyond regular market expectations. Even though these numbers are not officially confirmed and no deals have been closed yet, they have already sparked strong excitement within trade circles.
One major reason behind such massive valuations is Rajamouli’s unmatched track record. His films are widely seen as safe investments because of their grand scale, universal appeal, and strong box office potential. Audiences view his releases as cinematic events rather than just another movie, which naturally drives demand among buyers.
If the ongoing negotiations end close to the quoted figures, Varanasi could once again set new benchmarks in pre release business and further prove Rajamouli’s dominance in the industry.
