A fan of Mahesh Babu? Stream his films Murari and Okkadu on OTTplay Premium
A source close to the unit tells us that a key incident in the film is set in Varanasi. As it is tough to shoot in the real location, Rajamouli has asked his team to construct a key portion of Varanasi in Ramoji Film City. The set work is nearing completion, and images of the massive set have already leaked on social media.
The source goes on to add that the makers have spent close to ₹50 crore on these sets alone. Every detail is being paid attention to, and knowing Rajamouli, he is not leaving any stone unturned to make the set look authentic. Reports suggest that a few key scenes and a massive action sequence featuring the lead, Mahesh Babu, will be canned on this set.
Like his previous films that featured extensive scenes shot against the green mat backdrop, the upcoming film too will follow suit. A few top VFX companies from Hollywood are working on the film's graphics, and crores of rupees are being spent on the same, informs the source.
The big-budget action-drama has a Ramayana connection, as news has emerged that Mahesh Babu's character goes on a hunt for a special jadi buti (medicinal herbs and roots) across the world. With the mythological angle also being part of the film, this untitled project is much-anticipated, and some huge numbers are being quoted by the makers for its theatrical rights.

Ranbir Kapoor Looks Uber Cool In Casuals, Takes Selfies With Fans
Ranbir Kapoor will soon be seen in Ramayana, Love and War and Brahmastra 2. Ranbir Kapoor is everyone's favourite for a reason. The actor is widely loved by all, not just for his acting skills but also for his humble and down-to-earth nature. On Thursday too, Ranbir impressed everyone as he was spotted taking selfies with his fans in Mumbai. In a video that surfaced on social media, Ranbir Kapoor was seen walking out of a studio when he was snapped by the paparazzi. The actor looked uber cool in casual attire. He was seen posing for the shutterbugs in a white hoodie with blue jeans. After flaunting his smile for the paparazzi, Ranbir even obliged fans with selfies. Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Snehkumar Zala (@sneyhzala) Just a few days back, Ranbir was also spotted by the paparazzi as he arrived at Sanjay Leela Bhansali's office in Mumbai. He was also accompanied by his wife, actress Alia Bhatt. In the photos that surfaced on social media, the real-life couple was seen entering the Bhansali office. It should be noted that Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt will soon be seen in Bhansali's Love And War, which will also star Vicky Kaushal in the lead. Earlier this year, Ranbir talked about the project during a meet and greet event in Mumbai when he said, 'Love and War is something which is every actor's dream. To work with brilliant actors like Alia and Vicky and to be directed by the master – Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I worked with him 17 years ago. To work with him again, I can say this with so much of clarity that I haven't met a human being who works so hard, who understands characters, emotions, music, Indian culture, Indian value system, as much as Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Just to be on his set, it is tiring. It is long. The process can be a little daunting but eventually, as an artist, it is so satisfying. He really nurtures art. As actors, it's truly been amazing so far." Love and War is scheduled for release on March 20, 2026. Besides this, Ranbir also has Ramayana and Brahmastra 2 in his pipeline.
