SS Rajamouli’s next project after Varanasi has become a major talking point. His Mahesh Babu starrer is scheduled for April 7, 2027, and remains in production. Rajamouli recently said around 80 shooting days were pending, underlining the scale of the adventure. The film is also planned as a standalone feature.
Once Varanasi is completed, speculation will intensify over Rajamouli’s next hero. Allu Arjun is among the names frequently discussed, although there is no official confirmation of their collaboration. Allu Arjun is currently committed to upcoming projects, including his ongoing film with Atlee, and next with Lokesh Kanagaraj meaning his availability could influence future plans going forward.
Suriya is another strong name linked to Rajamouli’s future collaboration. The Tamil star has openly expressed his desire to work with the filmmaker, while Rajamouli has praised Suriya’s acting and credited his Ghajini promotions as an inspiration for taking Telugu cinema beyond traditional markets. Their potential collaboration carries special significance today.
Beyond individual heroes, Rajamouli’s Mahabharata dream project could completely change the equation. However, there is currently no official confirmation that his immediate post Varanasi film will feature Allu Arjun, Suriya, or a Mahabharata adaptation. Until Rajamouli announces his next project, these names remain speculation, keeping the industry eagerly watching every development.
