A short concept teaser for SS Rajamouli's next big thing, "Varanasi," has arrived, and my goodness, it's packed with surprises! Honestly, everything is perfect, everything looks top-notch. I just wish the last scene hadn't been inserted the way it appears... it felt a bit odd!
Well, for now, I'm going to tell you all the hidden details of the teaser, and I bet you'll be banging your head after hearing the last point!
🐒 A chariot on Hanuman's tail? And Kumbha's secret
Zoom in closely and you'll see Mahesh Babu driving a chariot on Hanuman's tail! And behind him, villain Prithviraj (name: Kumbha) is riding in a wheelchair.
This woman hanging in the air is likely Priyanka Chopra, as the location in the poster and the monument appear to be identical.

Is a human being sacrificed, or does she want to sacrifice herself? Devi's story tells the story. This is all being done to appease the mother goddess and gain special powers, but Mahesh Babu (name: Rudra) has arrived to stop it. He is afraid of the danger that this power could bring.
He's not just saving the lives of humans, but also of monkeys! Perhaps these monkeys are leading him to some secret treasure.
🧊 The Dwarka connection between snow, jungle, and underwater!
Did you notice? Kumbha's men are hanging on this huge mountain of ice! But here too, Mahesh Babu is probably outstripping them all to find the same treasure.
Suddenly, a parachute landing from a snowy mountain into an African jungle! Perhaps Kumbha's men are being freed, turning it into a jungle adventure.
But as the camera pans underwater, an ancient object resembling a boat is revealed... But what if it's connected to Lord Krishna's city, Dwarka, which sank into the water? Something special was left behind, and perhaps Kumbha and his team have arrived here to find it, trapped in the ice
✨ Varanasi's Cosmic Connection (The Biggest Theory!)
Why does the teaser begin with Varanasi? Because it was built by Lord Shiva and is considered his home.
The year 512 likely represents the time around which the Kashi Vishwanath Temple was built.
The asteroid falling from the sky may also fall near the temple in 2027. That's why Varanasi is called the cosmic center, meaning it's directly connected to the universe and space.
That's why the dot above the 'I' in the title of Varanasi is created by the moon itself, and the fire burning in the middle of the title is lit by a small planet. Amazing detailing!
And on the ghats of this very city, a blue light falls from the sky, whose power may be connected to the Ganges, Mandakini, or Priyanka Chopra.
Do you know what that power is? Zoom in and you'll find out for yourself: a bow and arrow, which may be associated with Lord Rama in the Ramayana! Because this same blue light is also present in the scene where Lord Rama stands on the mountain of monkeys and shoots arrows.
💥 Rama, Shiva, and the great war of time travel!
He is fighting Kumbhakaran, in which it is said that he cut off both his hands and legs. Who knows, perhaps that's why Prithviraj is named Kumbha, and because of that war, he is born this way in the present!
But for some reason, I feel like Kumbha isn't fighting Mahesh Babu in the film, because he himself brought him to the Treta Yuga!
And here comes the most dangerous secret:
Rudra (Mahesh Babu) caused Kumbha's condition, and to find a cure, he travels through time (a hint provided by Rajamouli himself) to different eras to find the Sanjivani herb, which kept Lakshman alive.
Once Kumbha gains this power, he attempts to bring his brother Ravana back from death and take revenge on Rama, completely eradicating the Ramayana!
R. Madhavan is a part of SSMB 29 (he also commented on Prithviraj's post), and he may play Ravana in this film!
But as soon as Mahesh Babu learns of this plan, he will transform into Shiva, ride on Nandi, and take the form of Rudra, destroying Kumbha forever!
In this battle, chances are that Kumbha will have Lord Rama's bow and arrow, which will be countered by Shiva's trident in Rudra's hands.
Do you know the meaning of trident? The one who maintains the balance of past, present, future, and the universe! The one who prevents time from being tampered with!
That's why the film is titled Varanasi: the place where the body finally finds liberation from the cycle of life and death. And perhaps the story of the film ends with this scene.
This time, Rajamouli is making history, not a film. He's going to bring Vishnu, Mahesh, and perhaps Brahma—all three—to life!
I'm done... now it's your turn to use your brain! If you missed something, find it and bring it back! Take care, bye-bye! 👋
