Speculation surrounds SS Rajamouli’s ‘Varanasi’ as a purported leaked image of Mahesh Babu as Lord Rama surfaces online. The film, featuring a segment in the Treta Yuga, has fans excited, but the authenticity of the image is debated.
Mahesh Babu as Lord Rama in Varanasi?
Mahesh Babu plays Lord Rama in a brief flashback in SS Rajamouli’s upcoming film Varanasi. The film also stars Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
Leaked Poster: Real or Fan-Made?
SS Rajamouli ’s magnum opus, Varanasi, is still more than a year away from release. The film, described as the most expensive Indian feature film ever mounted, spans not just continents but also eras. Rajamouli confirmed that part of the film takes place in the Treta Yuga with Mahesh Babu portraying Lord Rama in the flashback. Now, social media posts have claimed that the first look of Mahesh as Lord Rama has been leaked.
Rajamouli’s Epic: What We Know So Far
However, social media users were quick to point out that the poster seemed fan-made as the film’s team had made no official confirmation about it. Varanasi’s makers have not revealed Mahesh Babu’s look as Lord Rama from the film yet, and it would be unlikely for it to be revealed accidentally in this manner at a theatre without a formal announcement. X AI Grok also noted: “The poster is described as a leaked image from a Mythri Cinemas hoarding in Guntur, not officially released by the team. SS Rajamouli confirmed Mahesh Babu’s role as Lord Ram, but this specific image isn’t verified as official.”
While anticipation builds for ‘Varanasi,’ the authenticity of the ‘leaked’ poster remains questionable. Official confirmation from the filmmakers is awaited. The project promises to be a monumental cinematic experience.
