Mythological Clash in ‘Varanasi’?

Interest around “Varanasi”, the prestigious film directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu, continues to rise with every new update. Recent comments by writer Vijayendra Prasad have added more excitement, suggesting that a major conflict between Lord Rama and Kumbhakarna will be a key highlight of the story. This has sparked widespread discussion about the film’s narrative direction.

Reports also indicate that Mahesh Babu may appear in a role inspired by Lord Rama, while Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran is expected to portray Kumbhakarna. However, it remains unclear whether the film is fully rooted in mythology or blends modern elements, further increasing curiosity. The film is currently under production and is planned for a global release in April next year, with expectations of a grand visual spectacle.
