‘Varanasi’ heading for finish line
SS Rajamouli is racing towards the finish line. The filmmaker has revealed that the biggest spectacle-driven action sequences for his ambitious next, Varanasi, are already in the can. The team is now filming the smaller connecting scenes and expects to wrap principal photography by September or early October. Set across thousands of years, Varanasi follows the ancient city as it confronts an asteroid threat. The film, starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, is being shot partly on 70mm IMAX film. “All the important big spectacle action sequences are done,” said Rajamouli, adding that the film was conceived for the IMAX format “from the beginning” rather than adapted for it.
