Star-Studded Cast Fuels Anticipation

Headlined by Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, Varanasi has emerged as one of the most anticipated Indian films in recent times.

Global Push at Comic Con Experience Mexico 2026

Taking the film to international audiences, Varanasi will be showcased at Comic Con Experience Mexico 2026 through an exclusive panel on April 24 at the Thunder Stage.
