SS Rajamouli's Varanasi Promises Unique Action Ahead of New Oscars Stunt Category
SS Rajamouli's upcoming film Varanasi, set for release on April 7, 2027, promises action sequences distinct from his previous works like RRR and Baahubali. Producer SS Karthikeya described the stunts as "crazy" and designed to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. The film stars Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran and blends mythology, folk tales, and sci-fi elements. The Oscars will introduce a new stunt design category in 2028, making Varanasi a potential contender.
