Mumbai: S.S. Rajamouli, the master of film-makers and Mahesh Babu, the superstar are gradually shaping up their much awaited collaboration as one of the grandest events in Indian cinema. According to industry sources, the makers are planning to bring the film to theatres on April 15, 2027. The date is currently being finalised and holds special importance as it coincides with Ram Navami, making it a highly symbolic choice for release.
Titled Varanasi, the film is mounted on a massive scale and is said to tell a global story rooted deeply in Indian culture. The project has been in the news ever since it was announced, and each new update has only increased the excitement among fans.
Ram Navami Release and Mahesh Babu’s Divine Avatar
One of the biggest talking points around Varanasi is Mahesh Babu’s reported role in the film. It is being reported that the actor will be appearing as an avatar of Lord Rama. With this in mind, Ram Navami is being taken as the most good and significant day to release the theatre. The lock date of April 15, 2027 would mean an interesting cultural and emotional dimension to the arrival of the film in the cinemas.
For Rajamouli, known for blending mythology, emotion, and grand storytelling, the timing may serve the purpose of his bigger vision of the project. A Ram Navami release would also ensure massive attention across India and overseas markets.
Possible Shoot Near Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir
To top the hype, the makers are also considering shooting some scenes of the movie in and around the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. While this plan has generated a lot of curiosity, it is still at a discussion stage. Any such shoot would rely solely on receiving official permissions and adhering to all required protocols.
If approved, these locations could add authenticity and visual depth to the film, further strengthening its connection with Indian heritage.
With its grand scale, strong characters, global appeal, and Rajamouli’s trademark world building, Varanasi is already being seen as one of the most awaited Indian films of the coming years. The potential Ram Navami 2027 release has seen the anticipation skyrocket with the fans as they eagerly await more official announcements of this larger than life cinematic spectacle.
