Mumbai: SS Rajamouli has once again become the centre of global attention.Following the mega promotion of his next movie Varanasi, the people in India and elsewhere cannot cease discussing how big the movie is, the number of stars in it, the ambition and so on. The teaser has already evoked great excitement and all are interested in how large this film will be. Now, new information reveals that Varanasi may be one of the most expensive films ever made in India.
SS Rajamouli’s Biggest Venture
According to reports of Bollywood Hungama, the film is being made on a historic budget of Rs. 1300 crores, excluding the additional cost reserved for print and publicity. This makes Varanasi one of the most strategically planned yet visually massive films in Indian cinema. A trade source reportedly shared that while other large-scale films like A6 and Ramayana are using budgets between 1500 crores and 2000 crores, Rajamouli is creating a film that looks even bigger on a comparatively lower budget.
The reason behind this incredible cost management is SS Rajamouli’s structured approach. He is known to be precise, and to plan and to be clear before the camera is even rolling. It is being said that he has already pre-visualised all the key scenes on paper, so he is not wasting time or money on the set. His capacity to do a massive vision with discipline is attributed to be the main factor that is assisting the producers in saving a colossal sum and yet producing a world-class spectacular.
Sources also reveal that SS Rajamouli has designed some of the most epic sequences ever attempted in Indian cinema. His team is currently shooting these moments with detailed planning and a strict execution timeline. Insiders say that the film will visually surpass anything made in India so far, despite its cost-effective production process.
Another interesting detail that caught everyone’s attention was the scale of the Globetrotter event. According to reports, the makers spent Rs. 20 crores just on the event, making it one of the grandest promotional launches India has witnessed. This signals that everything connected to Varanasi will be on an extraordinary scale.
Starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj in lead roles, Varanasi is expected to redefine cinematic standards. With SS Rajamouli’s name attached, expectations are sky-high and the buzz only continues to grow with each new update.
Varanasi is slated for a 2027 release, and if the early reports are anything to go by, the film is going to be nothing short of a historic moment for Indian cinema.
