His film Baahubali made Telugu cinema very popular globally. After the huge success of Baahubali, many people started watching Telugu films with great interest.
Rajamouli is known for making big and powerful movies with strong stories and visuals. Now he is working on his next big project with Mahesh Babu. This film is currently being made on a large scale.
The movie is titled Varanasi and also stars Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran in important roles. The film is being produced by KL Narayana and SS Karthikeya and music is composed by M. M. Keeravani. The shooting is going on in Hyderabad and the movie is expected to release on April 7, 2027.
Recently a big film event called CinemaCon 2026 is happening in Las Vegas. This event is very important because many big films from Hollywood and other countries are presented there. Indian cinema is also taking part in this event with films like Ramayana directed by Nitesh Tiwari.
However Rajamouli’s film Varanasi is not officially included in the CinemaCon lineup. This has surprised many fans and film lovers. Since the film has a huge budget and global interest, many expected it to be shown at this event.
There is still no clear reason why the film is missing from CinemaCon. Some people believe the team may be planning a different strategy to promote the movie worldwide. Others think it may be revealed later.
