Actor Mahesh Babu's entry at the 'Varanasi' event on Saturday evening got the audience screaming. The actor turned heads as he made an entry on an electric bull – a reference to his character Rudra's introductory poster.
Speaking at the event, Mahesh Babu said, "I'll make everyone proud! Most importantly, I'll make my director proud. After 'Varanasi' is released, the whole of India will be proud!"
Director SS Rajamouli praised the actor at the event and said, "On the first day, when Mahesh came in Lord Rama’s get-up for the photoshoot, I got goosebumps. I was torn. Mahesh has the charm of Krishna, but the calmness of Rama. Still, I was confident. I even set that photo as my wallpaper… and then removed it."
Directed by SS Rajamouli, 'Varanasi' also stars Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Chouhan. The film is slated for a theatrical release in 2027.
