SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi remains scheduled to reach theatres on April 7, 2027. Writer Vijayendra Prasad has reaffirmed the announced date amid recent rumours of a possible delay, offering Mahesh Babu fans fresh reassurance. The film also stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
Vijayendra Prasad Reaffirms the Release Date
Speculation about a delay surfaced amid discussion about Varanasi’s release schedule. The makers have not announced a change, and April 7, 2027, remains the date they have publicised.
Vijayendra Prasad addressed the rumours while attending the teaser launch of Dad’s Little Friend. When asked about Varanasi, he reportedly referred to the date already announced and said the film would release on April 7, 2027. After the emcee sought confirmation, Prasad reiterated that the date was confirmed. His remarks were reported by Telugu media on October 29, 2026.
A Major Collaboration for Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli
Varanasi brings Mahesh Babu and director SS Rajamouli together for the first time. The project has drawn attention for its cast and large-scale filmmaking. Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran are also part of the film in prominent roles.
The scale of the production has contributed to questions about whether the film can meet its announced date. However, those questions remain speculation unless the production team confirms a schedule change. Prasad’s comments indicate that he expects the film to arrive as planned, but they should not be treated as a separate announcement from the makers.
What Fans Can Take From the Update
Rajamouli announced April 7, 2027, as Varanasi’s release date in January 2026. Prasad’s latest remarks restate that schedule following renewed postponement rumours. For now, the public release date remains unchanged; no new date or formal delay has been announced.
Fans are awaiting further updates on the film’s production and promotional campaign. Until the makers share a revised schedule, April 7, 2027, remains the announced theatrical release date for Varanasi.
