The buzz around director S. S. Rajamouli’s magnum opus ‘Varanasi’ has intensified with Mahesh Babu‘s viral look as Lord Ram from a hoarding at a theatre in Guntur. The film is already among the most anticipated projects in Indian cinema, and this unexpected reveal has taken the excitement to another level. Rajamouli had earlier confirmed that Mahesh Babu would appear as Sri Ram in an important portion, but no official poster had been released. That is why the sudden appearance of the divine look has created massive curiosity among fans.
Theatre hoarding of Mahesh Babu sends social media into a frenzy
The image is said to have surfaced on a digital hoarding outside a theatre in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. The poster showed Mahesh Babu in a radiant Ram avatar, holding the Kodanda bow and gazing toward the sea, with the words “Mahesh Babu as Sri Ram” clearly printed. Though the makers have not officially shared it online, visuals from the location spread rapidly across social media. Within a short time, the leaked look began trending, with fans calling it a goosebumps-worthy moment.
Intense preparation for ‘Varanasi’
SS Rajamouli had earlier recalled how deeply moved he was when Mahesh Babu first appeared in the Ram get-up for a photoshoot, saying the look perfectly balanced charm and calmness. Mahesh Babu committed to extensive three-month Kalaripayattu training and fine-tuned his posture, walking, and body movements to exude the grace and strength required for the character as the Director had specifically outlined.
