About Varanasi
Set in the aftermath of an asteroid named Shambhavi striking Earth, Varanasi unfolds in a world devastated by environmental and ecological catastrophe. The story follows Rudhra, a Shiva devotee and divine warrior, who travels across continents and timelines in search of a lost cosmic artefact.
Along the way, he uncovers a conspiracy led by Kumbha, a wealthy and ruthless antagonist determined to dominate the world. Priyanka’s character, Mandakini, is reportedly instrumental in helping Rudhra navigate mythological eras and unravel the mysteries of the past.
Also starring Prithviraj Sukumaran as the antagonist, Varanasi is slated to release in theatres on April 7, 2027. The film is reportedly being mounted on a staggering budget of ₹1,200 crore to ₹1,400 crore, making it one of the most expensive Indian films ever produced.
