Priyanka Chopra celebrates her 44th birthday with a new on-set still and BTS images shared by SS Rajamouli for his upcoming film, Varanasi. Rajamouli posts a still featuring Chopra in a look described by social media users as “Junglee billi,” alongside a caption that contrasts “grace” and “fire,” and refers to her character as “Mandakini.” Other outlets report that Chopra also teases action in the film, describing it as her most ambitious project and highlighting slow-motion action sequences, including “slow-motion jumps.” The movie is presented as an epic action-adventure that blends mythology and science-fiction elements, with time travel and globe-spanning action. Multiple reports also note that the film’s major action sequences are complete, and that the first look was unveiled at an event in Hyderabad last November. Varanasi is scheduled to release on April 7, 2027, and is described as Chopra’s return to Indian cinema after about eight years. One report adds that the film is reportedly budgeted at Rs. 1,400 crore and stars Mahesh Babu alongside Chopra.
