Filmmaker SS Rajamouli is once again in the spotlight with his upcoming mega project Varanasi. After the huge success of films like Dhurandhar, there is strong buzz that his next big film could be released in two parts.
Varanasi Two-Part Release Plan
Varanasi is expected to be a large-scale action-adventure film featuring stars like Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
The film is said to be made on a massive budget, possibly crossing ₹1000 crore. Because of its grand scale and detailed story, the makers are considering releasing it in two parts. This approach allows more time to tell the story without cutting important scenes.
Why SS Rajamouli May Choose Two Parts
SS Rajamouli is known for creating large and detailed stories. With Varanasi being a time-travel based film, the story is expected to be complex and layered.
A two-part format can help the team present the full story in a better way. Instead of fitting everything into one long film, splitting it into two parts gives more space for characters and events to develop properly.

Inspired by Dhurandhar Success
The decision is also influenced by the success of Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar The Revenge. These films performed extremely well at the box office and proved that audiences are open to longer stories told in multiple parts.
The Dhurandhar franchise has already crossed massive box office numbers, making it one of the biggest successes in recent times.
Earlier Statement by SS Rajamouli
Interestingly, SS Rajamouli had earlier said that Varanasi would be a single film and not a sequel-based project. He mentioned that the story would be complete in one movie with a runtime of over three hours.
However, with changing plans and the scale of the project, the team may now rethink the format to deliver a better cinematic experience.
Big Films Moving Towards Multi-Part Format
Many big Indian films are now choosing to release in multiple parts. This trend allows filmmakers to explore stories in depth and build stronger connections with the audience.
Upcoming films like Ramayana are also planned in multiple parts, showing that this format is becoming popular in the industry.
Varanasi is shaping up to be one of the biggest films of SS Rajamouli’s career. If released in two parts, it could offer a more detailed and engaging story.
