The director revealed on Saturday that the movie will be titled Varanasi and that Mahesh Babu will play a character named Rudhra.

SS Rajamouli said, "Something we can all learn from him (Mahesh Babu). Let me tell you, when Mahesh Babu comes to the office or shooting, he will not touch his cell phone. He will work for eight hours, and only when he goes back, he looks at his cell phone (sic)."

The producers unveiled a captivating title teaser despite a few nervous moments brought on by technical issues. The director continued by expressing his pride in presenting Premium Large Scale Format Filmed For IMAX, a new technology, to Indian cinema.

An asteroid was seen hurtling into Earth in the announcement film, with pieces landing across Africa, Antarctica, Varanasi, and other places. The narrative suggested links to the Ramayana and seemed to span several centuries. With temple outlines in the background, it concluded with a powerful visual of Mahesh Babu as Rudhra, riding a bull while covered in blood and brandishing a trident.
