Varanasi sets a release date for SS Rajamouli’s mysterious new movie

RRR took the world by storm with its epic story of friendship told against the backdrop of Indian independence, becoming a global phenomenon and even winning an Oscar for best original song. Director S.S. Rajamouli is aiming even bigger with his follow-up film, Varanasi, which spans thousands of years, depicting everything from Hindu mythology to futuristic warfare in a globetrotting adventure. Last November, Rajamouli revealed the title of his film (named after the holy Indian city and the banks of the Ganges river) and released a three-minute-long teaser. Now, we have a release date.
