As we know, Deepika Padukone is the female lead in this project while John Abraham played the role of a ruthless villain in this flick which is directed by Siddharth Anand.

Director Siddharth Anand presented SRK in the way his fans wanted to see and there are plenty of scenes where the influence of South Indian cinema can clearly be seen.
The special cameo of Salman and both the superstars pulling out some cool action moves and their conversations made the audience go crazy in theatres. Sources say that Siddharth may even work with Prabhas in the coming days. Hope he makes such a stylish film with the ‘Baahubali’ hero too.

Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu’s Varanasi Promises Mythology, Time Travel, and Epic Adventure
Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu are set to join forces for one of the most anticipated collaborations in Indian cinema with Varanasi. The upcoming project is now sparking comparisons with Prabhas’s Kalki 2898 AD, particularly due to its exploration of time travel, mythology, and large-scale spectacle.
While Kalki 2898 AD was set in a near-futuristic dystopia, Varanasi takes audiences in the opposite direction, traversing ancient timelines and mythological eras. Reports suggest that the story spans multiple yugas—from Treta Yuga to Kali Yuga—and even stretches across continents, from Antarctica to Africa. The narrative promises a mythological globe-trotting adventure deeply rooted in Indian history and philosophy, evoking the spirit of an Indian version of an Indiana Jones-style quest.
Mahesh Babu plays Rudhra, an adventurer and devoted follower of Lord Shiva, tasked with recovering powerful cosmic artefacts scattered across different eras. Priyanka Chopra stars as Mandakini, a fearless woman navigating the modern world, while Prithviraj Sukumaran is set to play the antagonist. The synopsis hints at a catastrophic asteroid strike on Varanasi, raising the stakes and posing the question of whether a saviour must travel through time to alter humanity’s fate.
Industry insiders note that while time travel has been a popular theme in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean cinema, it remains relatively unexplored in Indian films. Given Rajamouli’s enduring fascination with Indian mythology and epic storytelling, expectations are sky-high for Varanasi to deliver a grand, cinematic spectacle.
