Putting an end to days of speculation, the makers of the much-anticipated Rajamouli–Mahesh Babu project have officially announced the release date of Varanasi. The film is set for a grand worldwide theatrical release on April 7, 2027.

Superstar Mahesh Babu confirmed the news by unveiling the release date poster on social media, captioning it succinctly: “7th April 2027. #Varanasi.” The announcement comes a day after a massive hoarding spotted in the holy city of Varanasi hinted at the same date, fueling widespread buzz online.

Directed by visionary filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli, the project has been one of the most talked-about films in Indian cinema, and the official confirmation has only intensified expectations.

The April 7 release has been strategically planned to capitalise on a long festive window. With major festivals like Ugadi, Srirama Navami, and Ambedkar Jayanthi falling close together, the film is poised for an extended and potentially blockbuster theatrical run.

With the date now locked, Varanasi officially enters countdown mode, setting the stage for what is expected to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the decade.
