Prakash Raj just finished a shoot schedule for the big-budget movie Varanasi. The actor posted on social media about wrapping his part, thanking director S S Rajamouli and co-stars Mahesh Babu, Prithviraj, and Priyanka Chopra. He called the work a joy for the hungry actor inside him, saying he cannot wait to start the next filming block.

The film’s title was revealed at a massive fan event in Hyderabad earlier this year. Rajamouli told the crowd they shot a major sequence based on the Ramayana, admitting it gave him chills to see Mahesh Babu dressed as Lord Rama. He claimed the episode, which took sixty days to film, would become one of the most memorable in all his movies. Mahesh Babu plays a character named Rudhra, with Prithviraj as the villain Kumbha and Priyanka Chopra as Mandakini.

A Kenyan official stated that ninety-five percent of the African scenes were actually shot in Kenya. The project has generated huge interest since its announcement, with the title reveal event drawing one of the largest live fan gatherings ever seen. It featured an enormous stage and screen. Rajamouli shared that writing and shooting the epic sequence felt like walking on air, with each sub-section requiring fresh planning as if it were its own film.
