SS Rajamouli's Varanasi To Be Shorter Than RRR? Tollywood

SS Rajamouli's Varanasi To Be Shorter Than RRR?

Hyderabad, February 13 - Director SS Rajamouli's Varanasi is his most ambitious film yet, and everyone got a glimpse of it when the makers released the first-look teaser in November last year. The nearly 4-minute-long promo showcased Rajamouli's massive vision for the global action-adventure. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ever since the teaser of Mahesh Babu's starrer dropped, social media has been buzzing with speculation about how long the film would be. Seeing the massive scale, fans believe that it can't be fit into one film, and that Rajamouli might have to split it into two parts or keep it as a super lenghty one part epic. While everyone is speculating multiple parts or a high runtime, Rajamouli seems to have a clear-cut plan to complete the story in one part. What is interesting is that the legendary filmmaker intends to keep the film's theatrical runtime under 3 hours. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) “At this point, I’m assuming @VaranasiMovie run time will be less than 3hour” - @ssrajamouli ▶️ https://t.co/SeOUk2PDRn #MaheshBabu | #Varanasi pic.twitter.com/1tpLtlRQli— VardhanDHFM (@_VardhanDHFM_) February 13, 2026 During an interview with Collider, the Baabubali director said that as things are proceeding, he believes that the final runtime of Varanasi will be less than 3 hours, which will be less than his last film, RRR. Released in 2022, RRR was huge in scale with the official runtime of 3 hours and 2 minutes, and to have a shorter runtime than the last film for the upcoming film, which is bigger than RRR in terms of everything, is insane. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Of course, a lot of shooting is still pending, and the final runtime might vary, but it is clear that Rajamouli is not looking to expand the film in multiple parts (as of now). When it comes to filmmaking, no one does things better than Rajamouli, but it will be interesting to see how he fits such a massive scale in a film with under 3 hours, while keeping it engaging and the spectacle he is known for. Also starring Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran, Varanasi is scheduled to release on April 7, 2027. Stay tuned...

Jr NTR's Dragon To Release In Two Parts? Post-Theatrical OTT Deal Locked

Hyderabad, February 12 - Supertstar Jr NTR's highly anticipated pan-India film Dragon, directed by KGF fame Prashanth Neel, is generating strong buzz in industry circles over its release strategy, even though the official release date has yet to be locked. The film is being mounted on a massive scale with ambitious release plans. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to the latest reports, the makers are considering releasing the film in two parts, despite it being originally planned as a standalone project. The decision is said to stem from the film's massive scale, layered storytelling, and expansive world-building, though an official confirmation is still awaited. It is said that the makers might go the Dhuradhar way to release both parts (if happen) without much gap. However, complete clarity on splitting the film into two parts will be made on the editing table. Reports indicate that Prashanth Neel has structured Dragon with a broader narrative arc that could comfortably extend beyond a single film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Given Neel's track record with large-scale franchises, the possibility of splitting the project into two cinematic instalments is being actively discussed within the production unit, with a final call expected after the completion of shooting and post-production. Meanwhile, Dragon has reportedly locked a post-theatrical OTT deal, signalling strong confidence in its commercial prospects. Netflix has reportedly acquired the digital streaming rights. Netflix has been at the forefront in acquiring high-profile Pan India films, and Dragon are another film in the list. The deal has reportedly been locked for all languages. Stay tuned...

Mumbai, February 11 - Telugu superstar Ram Charan's upcoming film Peddi is already proving to be a massive draw in the pre-release business. As per the latest trade reports, the overseas theatrical rights of the film have been sold for 40–42 crore, marking one of the biggest overseas deals for a Telugu film.

As per Track Tollywood, the USA breakeven alone is estimated at around $6.5 million, while the overall overseas breakeven could touch $9 million.

Varanasi Release Date: Reported Overseas Premiere for Mahesh Babu & SS Rajamouli's Next!

The first collaboration between Global Director SS Rajamouli and Superstar Mahesh Babu (tentatively titled Varanasi) is already being hailed as the biggest Indian film ever conceived. Following the massive buzz generated by the title reveal during a Jio Hotstar live event, the industry is now laser-focused on its release strategy. While the production house is yet to provide an official confirmation, the current industry report suggests a worldwide theatrical release on April 7, 2027.According to a recent update from the popular trade handle Venky Box Office, overseas distributors are eyeing a reported overseas premiere date of Tuesday, April 6, 2027. This specific mid-week strategy is designed to create massive momentum for the Indian epic, even as it enters into direct competition with several major Hollywood tentpoles scheduled for the same window. Planning a Tuesday premiere for an Indian film, even one helmed by a director of SS Rajamouli's stature, is considered an ambitious and high-stakes strategy. According to reports from Venky Box Office, there are two critical factors that make this mid-week launch particularly challenging. First, there is the lack of promotional offers; Tuesday premieres usually do not qualify for the standard Tuesday discount ticket offers common in many international theater chains. Consequently, the film will have to rely entirely on its massive opening-day demand and the combined brand value of Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli to drive full-price ticket sales. Second, there is the logistical hurdle of accommodating large crowds mid-week. While such releases are historically difficult for theaters to manage, distributors are betting on the Rajamouli Factor and are already working to secure unprecedented screen counts across North America and Europe to handle the anticipated surge in footfalls. Another significant hurdle for the reported April 6 overseas premiere is the heavy congestion in premium large-format (PLF) screens, specifically IMAX. The Hollywood tentpole Godzilla x Kong: Supernova is scheduled for release on March 26, 2027, with a strict two-week IMAX commitment that runs right through the launch period of Varanasi. Since the Indian epic is looking to premiere exactly 11 days after the Godzilla debut, it faces a direct conflict for these high-value screens, which are often contractually locked for Hollywood blockbusters. However, there is a glimmer of hope from trade sources, who suggest that IMAX theaters tend to be more flexible after the first week of a major release. If Varanasi can demonstrate massive advance booking potential, it could potentially displace the Hollywood giant for prime evening slots. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The competition for screen space doesn't end with monster movies, as the early April window is becoming increasingly crowded with Hollywood heavyweights. In addition to the ongoing run of Godzilla x Kong, one Universal and one Disney film are both scheduled to hit theaters on April 2, 2027. This creates an incredibly narrow window for Varanasi to capture high-value screens and general audience attention. With three major Hollywood blockbusters occupying theaters just days before the reported premiere, the pressure is on the distributors to negotiate dominant screen space and maintain the film's event status in the face of intense international competition. While plot details are being guarded with extreme secrecy, director SS Rajamouli has previously described the film as a globetrotting jungle adventure. The screenplay, written by V. Vijayendra Prasad, reportedly features Mahesh Babu as a character inspired by high-stakes explorers like Indiana Jones. The story is expected to take the protagonist across multiple continents, combining deep-rooted Indian mythology with global action standards. Regardless of the mid-week release and Hollywood competition, the magnitude of a Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli collaboration is expected to shatter all previous opening records. The Varanasi project is not just a film but a global event that will put Indian cinema back on the world stage following the legacy of Baahubali.

Nani's The Paradise Postponed: Natural Star's Action Epic Skips March for August 21

In an official update from the production house SLV Cinemas, Natural Star Nani's highly anticipated action drama, The Paradise, has received a new theatrical window. Originally eyeing a release in March, the film is now set for a grand worldwide premiere on August 21, 2026. This cinematic spectacle marks the high-profile reunion of the SuperHit Dasara duo—Nani and director Srikanth Odela. Being mounted on a massive international scale, the film features an elite technical team, including a musical score by the sensation Anirudh Ravichander and cinematography by Sathyan Sooryan. This rescheduling follows the recent postponement of Nani's other project, Peddi, as the actor streamlines his upcoming lineup for a more impactful solo release window.

Along with The Paradise, other notable films like the action-thriller Dacoit, the mass entertainer Gabru, and Nani's own Peddi have also reportedly moved away from their initial March timelines. These adjustments appear to be strategic efforts to avoid a congested box office window, as the highly anticipated Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups are expected to occupy a significant number of screens during that period. By securing a fresh date in August, The Paradise aims to avoid potential overlaps and ensure a stronger solo presence at the box office.

This move highlights Nani's growing pan-world ambitions. Adding to the hype is a powerhouse technical team featuring a musical score by the sensation Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography by Sathyan Sooryan (DOP Sai), and editing by Navin Nooli. The film also boasts a stellar ensemble cast that brings together talent from various industries. Legendary actor Mohan Babu is set to play a pivotal role, alongside Raghav Juyal, Sonali Kulkarni, and Sampoornesh Babu. With the scripting and pre-production reportedly pushing the boundaries of raw, rustic storytelling, the reunion of the Nani-Srikanth Odela duo is expected to be a major highlight of the 2026 Independence Day weekend. As the Dhurandhar effect continues to reshape the 2026 calendar, fans of the Natural Star will have to wait a few more months to witness this cinematic spectacle. However, given the scale of the project and the strategic new date, The Paradise is now perfectly positioned to be one of the biggest global hits of the year.

Adding a strong family entertainer to the mix, Venkatesh is once again joining hands with hitmaker Anil Ravipudi.

SS Rajamouli's Dharna for IMAX: How Mahesh Babu's Varanasi Could Finally Bring True 1.43:1 Screens to India

In the world of global cinema, S.S. Rajamouli is no longer just a filmmaker; he is a visionary architect of spectacle. Following the historic global success of RRR, Rajamouli is now setting his sights on a new frontier—one that isn't just about the story on screen, but the screen itself.His upcoming globe-trotting adventure, officially titled Varanasi (formerly #SSMB29), starring Superstar Mahesh Babu, is being positioned as a cultural and technological inflection point for India. During a high-profile interaction, Rajamouli issued a playful yet pointed ultimatum to the tech giants in Los Angeles, sparking a viral conversation about India's theatrical infrastructure. The filmmaker's frustration centers on the lack of True IMAX screens in India—specifically those capable of the immersive 1.43:1 aspect ratio. To emphasize his point, Rajamouli shared a sentiment that has now become the rallying cry for Indian cinephiles: In India, we call something like Dharna that says like if you are not happy with someone we pitch tents outside their office and say we demand some theatre. So I am going to pitch tent outside IMAX in LA and demand them... we need big screens here in India. This isn't just a joke; it is a signal of intent from a director who refuses to let his 1,300-crore vision be compressed into standard formats. The irony of the current situation is hard to ignore. India is already IMAX's 7th largest market, with a staggering footprint growth of nearly 60% since 2020. The audience's appetite for premium large-format experiences is undeniable, yet the infrastructure lags behind the ambition. While most Indian IMAX screens are digital versions on smaller 1.90:1 displays, Rajamouli's Varanasi is being filmed specifically for the towering 1.43:1 format. For a story that spans multiple worlds—from the spiritual ghats of Varanasi to the frozen wastes of Antarctica and even the mythic Treta Yuga—the director insists that only the vertical scale of a True IMAX can do justice to the magnificent visuals. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Perhaps the most stinging irony lies in Hyderabad, the heart of Telugu cinema. Despite producing the country's biggest blockbusters and housing a massive fan base, the city currently lacks a confirmed, top-tier IMAX screen. This gap between the industry's creative ambition and its technical infrastructure is precisely what Varanasi hopes to bridge. With a star-studded cast including Mahesh Babu as the protagonist Rudhra, Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Mandakini, and Prithviraj Sukumaran as the antagonist Kumbha, the film is designed for scale, myth, and immersion. Rajamouli has even noted that for the film's teaser launch, they audaciously built a custom 100-foot by 130-foot screen just to show the footage as intended. The ball is now firmly in the court of Indian exhibitors. IMAX has already responded to Rajamouli's Dharna comment with a clear we're ready, signaling that they are open for business and eager to expand.If Varanasi receives the IMAX treatment it deserves by its April 7, 2027 release, it won't just elevate one film; it will reset the expectations for how Indian blockbusters are experienced. It could finally normalize IMAX-first filmmaking in India, turning it from a premium afterthought into a standard for excellence. As Rajamouli prepares to take his fight to LA, the message is clear: Indian cinema has the vision—it's time for the theaters to provide the canvas.

Toxic Theatrical Rights (AP/TG): Dil Raju's SVC Secures Distribution Deal In Huge Price For Yash Starrer

Hyderabad, February 6 - The buzz around superstar Yash's Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups has intensified after the makers officially locked a theatrical deal for the Telugu states. Producer Dil Raju's Sri Venkateswara Creations has officially been confirmed to distribute the movie in AP/TG. On Friday (February 6), producers KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations officially confirmed on social media that the theatrical distribution deal for Toxic has been locked for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. While the makers didn't reveal the acquisition's price, credible reports suggest that the deal has been locked for 120 crores. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) If true, it is among the biggest ever deals for a non-Telugu film. Interestingly, the movie will be clashing with Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar The Revenge, which is itself carrying huge buzz in Telugu states. This shows that the makers are super confident that Toxic will deliver rich results at the box office in the Southern State. The gangster action drama is certainly one of the hottest properties for the big screens, especially given that it is the first movie of Yash after the all-time blockbuster KGF: Chapter 2, which was a massive success in Telugu states with around 140 crores gross collection. Written by Yash and Geetu Mohandas and directed by Geetu Mohandas, Toxic has been simultaneously shot in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions planned in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and several other languages for its global ambition. The film is scheduled to release on March 19, 2026. Stay tuned...
