What’s Been Confirmed
According to the reports, MM Keeravani revealed at a public event that “Varanasi” will feature six songs. He also shared that work on the film’s background score is set to begin in September 2026, with a target to wrap it up by January 2027 — giving the film’s massive scale (and Rajamouli’s famously detailed process) a fairly tight runway before release.
Keeravani, who has composed for several of Rajamouli’s biggest hits, is once again central to shaping the sound of what’s expected to be another large-canvas action-adventure epic.
