The Story in Brief
Priyanka Chopra posted an unseen picture with Mahesh Babu on his 51st birthday from the sets of SS Rajamouli's Varanasi. The makers also released the first look of Mahesh as Rudhra, a character Rajamouli described as 'fierce and fragile'. Rajamouli said the Africa schedule, shot around Kilimanjaro and Masai Mara, gave the film an unmatched scale. Mahesh thanked fans and said Varanasi is close to his heart. The film, which also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, is scheduled for release on April 7, 2027, and marks Priyanka's return to Indian cinema after six years.
The Indian Opinion
The birthday wishes and first look have predictably set social media ablaze, but the film is still two years away. While Rajamouli's promise of a 'fierce and fragile' Rudhra is intriguing, hype this early often risks overexposure. Priyanka's return to Indian cinema is welcome, but her role as Mandakini remains a mystery. The real test will be whether the final product matches the scale and ambition of the Africa schedule shots.
