Buckle up, because Superstar Mahesh Babu is taking “globe-trotting” to a whole new level! His massive upcoming film with director SS Rajamouli, titled Varanasi (formerly SSMB29), is officially making history. In a fun social media chat just yesterday, co-star Priyanka Chopra Jonas dropped a major hint by telling Mahesh, “See you soon in Antarctica.” This confirms that the team is heading to the frozen continent to film at the Ross Ice Shelf, making it the first Indian movie ever to shoot in such a wild, sub-zero location.
This isn’t just a regular action movie; it’s a high-stakes, time-traveling adventure with a staggering budget of ₹1,300 crore. The story follows Mahesh Babu’s character, Rudhra, on a mission that spans thousands of years and multiple continents—from the jungles of Africa to the ancient streets of Varanasi. With Prithviraj Sukumaran playing a powerful villain named Kumbha and the film being shot specifically for IMAX, Rajamouli is clearly pulling out all the stops for its April 7, 2027 release. If you thought RRR was big, this icy Antarctic expedition proves we haven’t seen anything yet!
