Varanasi: Rajamouli’s Rs 1200 crore ‘Varanasi’ in danger due to increase in budget?

Varanasi: SS Rajamouli’s ‘Varanasi’ is included in the list of much awaited films of 2027. He has been working on this picture since RRR, much of the shooting of which has already been completed. Priyanka Chopra is working as the female lead opposite Mahesh Babu. Whereas Prithviraj Sukumaran remains the dreaded villain in the film. This is the second most expensive film of Indian cinema, which is being made with a budget of Rs 1200-1300 crore. But such news has been coming for a long time that the budget of the film has increased, which has increased the tension of the makers. However, increasing the budget of Rajamouli’s films is not a new thing. This has been happening often and now it is not a new thing to happen in ‘Varanasi’.

In fact Rajamouli Has not taken any fees for the film ‘Varanasi’. Which was revealed some time ago. Nor has Mahesh Babu taken any fixed share yet. Both are making a deal on profit sharing. The reason behind doing this is so that there is no pressure of any kind on the film. But still the budget has increased. Recently a report was published on 123telugu.com. From which it came to light that the shoot of ‘Varanasi’ is going on at a fast pace. Rajamouli is busy shooting a big action scene, which is going to be the most important part of this big project.

What update came regarding the budget of the film?

Recently, information was received regarding ‘Varanasi’ that the budget of the film has now become more than what was thought in the beginning. Also, now the makers have to invest more money to fulfill the grand vision of the film. However, in case of Rajamouli’s films such things are often discussed. Anyway, when directors focus on grand scale and cinematic quality, they increase the budget during production. The kind of cinema Rajamouli does, he never gives more importance to the budget than his output. This is the reason why his previous films have been blockbusters. Also, his successful films won everyone’s hearts all over the world.

However, Rajamouli’s films are so brilliant that they easily cover the budget. However, if the budget increases beyond Rs 1200-1300 crore, there will be problems. Especially after the release of the film, the real risk remains. But films almost recover their budget from theatrical deals. Now, it is not known how much the budget of the film has increased. All we have learned is that the budget has reached more than before.
