Varanasi Eyes Historic Overseas Record

The upcoming film Varanasi has already become one of the most talked-about projects in Indian cinema. The movie brings together superstar Mahesh Babu and star director Rajamouli for the first time. Because of this powerful combination, expectations among fans are extremely high. Even small updates about the film quickly go viral on social media.

Recently, a new report about the movie created a big buzz in the film industry. According to sources, a major distribution company has offered around Rs 160 crore for the overseas rights of the film. These rights are said to be for the release of the movie in various Indian languages in international markets.

However, the makers of the film have not officially confirmed this news yet. Reports say that the producers are still discussing the offer and have not taken a final decision. If the deal becomes true, Varanasi could become the first Indian film to earn Rs 160 crore from overseas rights alone. This would be a rare record for any Indian movie.

Director Rajamouli recently revealed the title glimpse of the film, which gave audiences a small idea about the scale of the project. The film is expected to be a fantasy and mythological adventure with a grand visual style. Rajamouli is known for making large-scale movies, and fans believe that this project will be even bigger.

There are also reports that Mahesh Babu will appear in the role of Lord Rama in the film. If this is true, it will be a completely new and exciting role in his career. The actor is also said to be preparing physically for the character and undergoing special training for the film.

The movie also features Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, who will reportedly play a character named Mandakini. Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran is expected to appear as the main villain in the story. With such a strong cast, the film is expected to attract audiences across India and overseas.

The makers are planning a massive global release for the film. Varanasi is scheduled to release on April 7, 2027. Reports suggest that the film may release in more than 120 countries worldwide.
