Priyanka’s Dance Demand Shakes Sets
Global star Priyanka Chopra is making her highly anticipated re-entry into Indian cinema with ‘Varanasi’, a collaboration set to shake the box office, directed by S.S. Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu. This project has already generated immense buzz, particularly after Priyanka reportedly placed a specific condition before agreeing to the film, significantly raising expectations. After an absence of almost seven years from Indian films, Priyanka will star as the female lead.
In an interview, she humorously revealed that she personally requested Rajamouli for a dance song, never anticipating how challenging it would be. “I haven’t danced in an Indian film for a long time, so I asked Rajamouli Garu for a song,” Priyanka laughed, adding, “But looking at the dance he’s making me do, I wonder why I even asked.” Priyanka’s request has reportedly led Mahesh Babu to undertake strenuous efforts for the dance sequences as well. Responding to this, Mahesh stated, “It’s only because of Priyanka that I’m also having to perform these massive steps. We’ve already completed shooting one song, and it has turned out truly sensational. The tune of that song is absolutely unforgettable for us.” He quipped that Rajamouli designed the song to be exceptionally grand and demanding precisely because Priyanka asked for it, emphasizing that songs in Rajamouli’s films are known for being visual feasts, not just about dance. As soon as this exciting update became known, fans on social media erupted in celebration, with netizens commenting that “if Priyanka Chopra and Mahesh Babu dance together, the box office is bound to shake.” Expectations for how the song featuring this duo will turn out have already soared.
Varanasi: Epic Scale, Global Release
In ‘Varanasi’, Mahesh Babu is set to stun as ‘Rudra’ and is also reported to portray Lord Rama in a special episode, for which he underwent about six months of special training. Priyanka Chopra will dazzle as ‘Mandakini’, a secret thief, while Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran appears as the powerful villain ‘Kumbha’. Rajamouli has already announced that this ambitious film will be released globally on April 7, 2027, as a Ugadi gift. Being made on a massive budget of approximately Rs. 1000 – 1300 crores, ‘Varanasi’ will be released in IMAX format. As Rajamouli’s highly anticipated follow-up to ‘RRR’, global expectations for the film are enormous. It is targeting not only South and North India but also the Hollywood market. Reports even suggest the film could command a pre-release record of 650 crores. Stay tuned for more updates regarding this cinematic spectacle.
Looking Ahead
Rajamouli, Mahesh Babu, and Priyanka Chopra are crafting an Ugadi gift for the ages. ‘Varanasi’ is poised to be not just a film, but a global cinematic phenomenon, shattering box office records and elevating South Indian cinema’s stature worldwide. Prepare for an unprecedented experience that will redefine cinema!
