During the chat, Nick Jonas<\/a> urged Priyanka to speak about her upcoming film Varanasi. Priyanka said, \u201cI have working on it for about 14 months now.

About Varanasi<\/p>\n

Directed by SS Rajamouli and written by Vijayendra Prasad, Varanasi is the filmmaker’s first feature since the global success of RRR. Starring Mahesh Babu, Prithviraj and Priyanka Chopra, the film blends mythology and Indian folklore with sci-fi elements such as time travel to create a globe-trotting adventure. The film also marks Priyanka Chopra’s return to Indian cinema after an eight-year gap, adding to the excitement among fans.<\/p>\n

Recently speaking with Variety, Priyanka had said that the film is “unlike anything” she has ever done. \u201cThis is unlike anything I\u2019ve ever done. We travel from like Antarctica to \u2026 And just the worlds that he creates are so larger than life, and nobody has the vision that he does. So even I\u2019m excited to see more,” she had said.<\/p>\n

Priyanka revealed what she told the director before signing the film. \u201cI was like, \u2018Listen, I\u2019m coming back to Indian movies. I have to do a dance song. Like you have to make me dance.\u2019 I know I\u2019m gonna be doing it, but we haven\u2019t shot it yet. OK, that\u2019s one of the last things, which I\u2019m really looking forward to. But we already did one where the choreography was crazy. It\u2019s so intricate,” she had added.<\/p>\n

When the teaser was unveiled, Rajamouli also revealed that Mahesh Babu would portray Lord Rama in one of the film’s sequences. Later, writer Vijayendra Prasad teased a 30-minute sequence from the film, saying, “It’s a war between Rama and Kumbhakarna. You saw in the trailer, right? You saw Rama and Kumbhakarna. You saw Lord Hanuman’s tail and a chariot on it. I’m talking about that\u2026 spellbound.”<\/p>\n

Varanasi<\/a> is one of the most anticipated Indian films in recent years. Rajamouli recently revealed that the film’s major action sequences have already been completed, with shooting expected to wrap up by October. The film is slated for a theatrical release in April 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Priyanka Chopra has heaped praises on SS Rajamouli, who is helming Varanasi, a film which marks her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":801338,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134,389,13286,35589,150030,235807],"class_list":["post-801337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-indian-cinema","tag-priyanka-chopra","tag-ss-rajamouli","tag-telugu-debut","tag-varanasi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/801337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=801337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/801337\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/801338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=801337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=801337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=801337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
