About Priyanka Chopra’s upcoming work
Priyanka will soon return to Indian cinema after a hiatus of eight years. The actor will star in SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi, which also features Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran in lead roles.
Reportedly mounted on a budget of ₹1,000 crore, the film is one of the most ambitious projects in Indian cinema. It is said to blend mythology with science-fiction elements, including time travel.
Priyanka has described Varanasi as ‘unlike anything’ she has done before. Speaking about the film on a podcast with her husband, Nick, she said, “I have been working on it for about 14 months now. But SS Rajamouli is known to take that kind of time to make movies. He called me for this movie, and it’s this epic adventure around the world and in time. It has taken a minute, but I am so excited about it. I do so many amazing slow-motion jumps in it, and that’s all I can say about it.” Varanasi is scheduled to release in theatres in April 2027.
