The Story in Brief
On his 51st birthday, Tamil star Mahesh Babu released the first detailed images of his character Rudhra from SS Rajamouli's upcoming film Varanasi. The stills show the actor in a rugged avatar set against African wilderness, on a bamboo raft and giving a dead stare into the grasslands.
Set for release on April 7, 2027, the film also stars Priyanka Chopra as Mandakini. The plot reportedly involves a high-stakes race as an asteroid threatens to destroy the city of Varanasi, with Rudhra on a quest for an ancient cosmic artefact.
The Indian Opinion
Fan frenzy over character looks is routine, but the real test for Rajamouli's Varanasi will be whether it delivers a coherent story, not just a visual spectacle. The snippets suggest a globe-trotting mythological adventure, but the asteroid plot risks sounding generic. Can Rajamouli weave Indian mythology into a modern disaster tale without losing the human drama that made Baahubali and RRR memorable? The box office on April 7, 2027 will answer that.
