SS Rajamouli’s ambitious 2027 magnum opus, *Varanasi*, faces a shocking production halt. The visionary director requested 150 water tankers for a massive underwater sequence, but Hyderabad authorities denied the permit due to severe civic shortages. Despite the star-studded cast including Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, real-world logistics have frozen this cosmic adventure. Will the cinematic vision recover by April 2027?
