India, Jan. 29 -- The release date of SS Rajamouli's next film, Varanasi, has been changed. The film stars Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran in lead roles.

The film was earlier scheduled to release in theatres in January 2027. It will now hit cinema halls on April 7, 2027. The film will avoid a clash with Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, which will release in March 2027. It stars Prabhas and Triptii Dimri in the lead roles.

In the film, Priyanka Chopra will play Mandakini, Mahesh Babu will essay the role of Rudhra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran will portray the antagonist Kumbha. The film's title was officially announced at the grand GlobeTrotter event, held at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, last year in November.

The tease...
