Filmmakers announced on Tuesday that Akshaye Khanna will portray Asuraguru Shukracharya in Mahakali, a production within the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe. Director Puja Kolluru leads the project, with Prasanth Varma serving as showrunner for RKD Studios. The character appears with a silver beard, ascetic robes, and represents the mythological guru of the Asuras. Khanna makes his Telugu cinema debut through this role.
The film follows Hanu-Man in the expanding cinematic universe, but presents the first female-centered superhero narrative. RK Duggal, and Riwaz Ramesh Duggal produce the feature through their studio. Shukracharya controls the Mrita-Sanjivani Mantra, which grants power to restore life in Hindu mythology. The character balances spiritual guidance with strategic warfare across the cosmic realm.
