What’s The Buzz About?
According to a report by Telugu Chitraalu, the Ramayana episode in “Varanasi” focuses entirely on the intense battle between Lord Rama and Kumbhakarna. Mahesh Babu is said to appear as Lord Rama in this epic portion, with Lord Hanuman and the mighty Vanara Sena also part of the sequence.
Interestingly, characters like Sita and King Ravana reportedly won’t appear in this specific chapter, since the film is zooming in on just this one battle rather than retelling the entire Ramayana. It’s worth noting the makers haven’t officially confirmed any of these details yet.

The Ramayana, one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, has inspired countless film and television adaptations across generations.
With “Varanasi” already generating massive anticipation thanks to its ensemble cast and Rajamouli’s direction, this mythological twist only adds to the excitement. For more South cinema updates and casting reports like this, visit TechnoSports for continuous entertainment coverage.
