- Director S.S. Rajamouli’s Varanasi spans from 7,000 BCE to 2027, blending time periods in a grand adventure.
- The film incorporates Hindu mythology with extensive visual effects, distinguishing itself from typical Western blockbusters.
- Priyanka Chopra Jonas highlights Varanasi as a unique genre mixing time travel and action elements.
- Though early in production, the cast and crew share a clear vision of this ambitious cinematic project.
It is a genre of its own, I think. And I think that's what [S.S. Rajamouli's] ambition was, to create something which is his biggest, most ambitious project, but at the same time to create a genre of cinema within itself. And that's so exciting.— Priyanka Chopra Jonas on the film Varanasi and S.S. Rajamouli's ambitions.
