Latest Update on His Upcoming Projects<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Mahesh Babu\u2019s next movie after Varanasi<\/em> has become a major topic of discussion among Telugu cinema fans.<\/strong> While the actor is currently working on S. S. Rajamouli\u2019s ambitious Varanasi<\/em>, reports suggest that discussions are already happening around his project after the Rajamouli film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mahesh Babu is currently starring in Varanasi<\/strong>, directed by S. S. Rajamouli<\/strong>. The film also features Priyanka Chopra Jonas<\/strong> and Prithviraj Sukumaran<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent reports indicate that the production is approaching its final stage. Telugu360 reported on September 22 that Mahesh Babu was nearing completion of his portions, with the film scheduled for a theatrical release on April 7, 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film is being presented as a large-scale action-adventure project with an international setting and mythology-related elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd25 What Is Mahesh Babu Planning After Varanasi?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The interesting update is that Mahesh Babu has not officially announced his next film yet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Telugu360, several producers and filmmakers have reportedly discussed possible collaborations with Mahesh Babu. Names mentioned in industry reports include Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Atlee and Lokesh Kanagaraj<\/strong>, but no project with these directors has been officially finalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means fans may have to wait for an official announcement before treating any particular director as Mahesh Babu’s confirmed next collaborator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfa5 Sanjay Leela Bhansali Name Enters the Discussion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the latest reports has added Bollywood filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali<\/strong> to the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moneycontrol reported on September 19 that Mahesh Babu and Bhansali had reportedly met and discussed a story. The report described this as a reported possibility<\/strong>, rather than a confirmed project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NDTV also reported on September 17 about speculation surrounding a possible Mahesh Babu\u2013Bhansali collaboration after Varanasi<\/em>. According to that report, Bhansali had reportedly discussed a story with Mahesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there is currently no official announcement confirming Bhansali as the director of Mahesh Babu’s next film<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfac Will Mahesh Babu Choose Another Pan-India Movie?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another important question is whether Mahesh Babu will immediately choose another large-scale pan-Indian or pan-world project after Varanasi<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent reports suggest that multiple possibilities are being discussed, but the actor’s next project remains unconfirmed. Moneycontrol previously reported that online speculation about a Mahesh Babu\u2013Prashanth Neel collaboration was not backed by a project currently in development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, several names circulating on social media should currently be treated as rumours or industry reports rather than official announcements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcc5 Varanasi Release Date<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As of the latest available reports, Varanasi<\/em> is scheduled to arrive in theatres on April 7, 2027<\/strong>. India Today reported in July that Rajamouli said around 80 shooting days remained at that point, while the film continued toward its 2027 release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bollywood Hungama also lists Varanasi<\/em> for April 7, 2027<\/strong> in Mahesh Babu’s filmography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfaf Final Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For now, Mahesh Babu’s next movie after Varanasi<\/em> remains officially unannounced<\/strong>. Several filmmakers have been linked to him through entertainment-industry reports, including Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Atlee and Lokesh Kanagaraj. However, these should not be presented as confirmed projects until Mahesh Babu or the respective filmmakers officially announce them.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
