SS Rajamouli's Varanasi Spans Continents and Time, Shot Entirely in IMAX
Director SS Rajamouli's upcoming film Varanasi, starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, is an ambitious action-adventure spanning continents and time periods, including Varanasi, Antarctica, Africa, and ancient Rome. About 80% of filming is complete, with major action sequences wrapped. The film is the first non-English production shot entirely in IMAX to capture its grand scale and visual ambition. Rajamouli has kept the plot details under wraps, focusing on delivering a large-scale cinematic experience.
