The film world buzzed as fans lined the Varanasi set, where whispers of a new epic swirl.
When the director’s 53rd birthday arrived, the entire crew paused to honor the visionary whose work has redefined blockbuster storytelling.
Mahesh Babu, in a snapshot wearing a cream‑coloured hat, posted a playful X message hinting at future collaborations, teasing fans with a cryptic, “cannot wait for the world to see what we’re creating together.”
Jr NTR followed suit, sharing a photo of Rajamouli lifting him on his back—a nod to their RRR days—while calling the director the one who “keeps raising the bar and then jumps over it.”
Beyond the birthday cheer, the buzz is on Rajamouli’s upcoming film Varanasi, a globe‑spanning adventure starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran, slated for worldwide release on April 7, 2027.
The Varanasi team’s Instagram post, branding the director as “THE DIRECTOR,” added a final layer of hype, proving that even a birthday can’t stop the engine of anticipation.
