Expectations Soar for ‘Varanasi’

Director S.S. Rajamouli and superstar Mahesh Babu's upcoming adventure action film Varanasi has become a major talking point in the film industry. Actor Prithviraj recently praised Rajamouli’s working style, stating that the filmmaker never wastes even a minute on set and keeps lunch breaks limited to just 20 minutes.

Reports suggest that Rajamouli’s perfectionism has led to multiple retakes, with some scenes reportedly requiring up to 90 takes. It is also being said that a scene featuring Mahesh Babu was shelved for the day as the director was not fully satisfied with the output. Meanwhile, industry circles are buzzing with speculation that the film may be released in two parts, although an official announcement is still awaited.
