Is Rajamouli Planning to Focus on Mahabharata After Varanasi?

Director SS Rajamouli’s upcoming film Varanasi, starring Mahesh Babu, has generated massive expectations among audiences. Now, reports are doing the rounds that once he completes this ambitious project, the filmmaker may turn his attention to his long-cherished dream of bringing the epic Mahabharata to the big screen. Discussions about the project date back to the Baahubali days, but Rajamouli could not move forward due to his commitments to other films. With those projects nearing completion, speculation is growing that he may finally begin working on his dream venture.

Meanwhile, producer Namit Malhotra, who recently tasted major success with Ramayana, is reportedly interested in being part of the Mahabharata project. Industry buzz suggests that the epic could be mounted on a grand scale, featuring Hollywood-level visuals and cutting-edge technology. However, no official announcement has been made regarding the project or its production team. If Rajamouli takes up Mahabharata after Varanasi, fans believe it could become another landmark project and further expand the global reach of Indian cinema.
