Varanasi: 30-Minute Rama-Kumbhakarna Battle Confirmed
The highlight of the 2027 release will be an epic battle scene
CHENNAI SS Rajamouli’s much awaited film Varanasi will
work on a series of 30 minute panoramic battles between Lord Rama and the demon
Kumbhakarna step by step by the director’s father and writer Vijender Prasad
This revelation has sent lovers into a frenzy raising expectations for what has
already been touted as one of the dreadful Indian films in recent memory.
This is a battle between Rama and Kumbhakarna says Vijendra Prasad
Speaking on the
occasion organized through Filmi Focus Prasad requested whether the much
publicized 30 minute footage was edited to be mythological or political in
nature or not He explained There is a conflict between Rama and Kumbhakarna You
saw inside the trailer did not you? You saw Rama and Kumbhakarna You noticed
the tail of Lord Hanuman and the chariot on him I am talking about it Mantra
However he soon
realized that he had learned too much When asked if the film is about time
zones or not and who thought of the idea he replied We do not talk about it
anymore
Mahesh Babu as Lord Rama Rumor has it that Prithviraj Sukumaran is playing Kumbhakarna
While Rajamouli
had earlier indicated that celebrity actor Mahesh Babu will portray Lord Rama
fans are currently speculating whether actor Prithviraj Sukumaran will step
into the work of Kumbhakarna or not A
reliable confirmation is awaited
Recalling what
seemed to be the moment when Mahesh Babu stood up for Ram's photo shoot for the
first time Rajamouli said in his final year I had goosebumps I was torn Mahesh
has Krishna's charm but Ram has peace Still I feel safe
60 days of shooting Every sub episode felt like a movie
Director It also went beyond the
busy shooting for the museum We shot this series in 60 days and just finished
it Every day turned into work Every episode and sub episode felt like a movie
in itself the whole thing has been reimagined and thought through from scratch
He added After crossing all those hurdles we wrapped
the series sooner or later I am sure this will be a memorable sequence as
perfectly as my films and Mahesh’s films
Time travel theories and stellar trophies
When this
sequence made its first parody enthusiasts speculated that time travel might
have taken place in Varanasi The author’s latest update has further lightened
the tension
Apart from
Mahesh Babu and reportedly Prithviraj Sukumaran the film also features Priyanka
Chopra in a supporting role making her comeback to Indian cinema.
