In Varanasi as Junior Mahesh… hero Sudheer Babu’s son.

Superstar Mahesh Babu and master director S.S. Rajamouli are teaming up for the movie Varanasi. Since it is being made with a blend of mythology and science fiction, it has already grabbed the attention of film lovers across the world. This movie, which has created huge expectations at the pan-world level, continues to generate interesting updates every day. The title glimpse that has already been released clearly shows Rajamouli’s vision. As per the story, the film will also feature a young Mahesh Babu character. But… do you know who is going to appear as the young Mahesh Babu?

"Varanasi" is not a regular high-budget film. Not only because it is a Rajamouli–Mahesh Babu collaboration, but also because of the genre, this project is being planned with the global market in mind. The mythological war backdrop, Hanuman elements, and mythological fusion showcased in the title glimpse indicate that the film will be on Hollywood-level scale. More importantly, Rajamouli himself announced that Mahesh will appear in the avatar of Lord Rama, which created even more hype.

According to the film’s storyline, Rajamouli is thinking of showing the childhood phase of Rudra (Mahesh Babu’s character). Reports circulating in the industry claim that Tollywood actor Sudheer Babu’s younger son Darshan is likely to play the role of the young Mahesh. Though there has been no official confirmation yet, the news has become a hot topic in film circles. Darshan is already playing the role of young Prabhas in the movie Fauji. His photos and looks often go viral on social media. If he gets the chance to act as Junior Mahesh Babu, there is no doubt that Master Darshan could become an overnight star. Earlier, Gautam Ghattamaneni received huge appreciation for playing Junior Mahesh Babu in Nenokkadine. Now everyone is curious to see whether the same magic will repeat with Darshan.
