At a time when the MCU has been making waves at the box office with their time-travel adventures across the multiverse, Rajamouli’s next saga will just be turning back the clock to a time that even predates history.

The post reads, “When an asteroid hits the city of Varanasi in India, what are the events that it leads to? Is the world about to be doomed? Does it need a saviour who has to traverse across the continents and timelines to influence the most crucial moment in the history of Earth?”

This brief logline seems to confirm that Varanasi will plunge into full-fledged time travel, taking audiences across continents and eras of heros, kings and gods while attempting to rewrite destiny. Though character details remain under wraps, industry speculation suggests Mahesh Babu may play the central “saviour” figure, navigating multiple timelines and also playing the role of Lord Ram.
