Filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli is currently in ‘Varanasi’ to film a pivotal action sequence for his globe-trotting adventure saga.
The schedule involves a high-intensity chase sequence set against the historic ghats of the Ganges, featuring Mahesh Babu in a rugged, adventurous avatar.
Local reports suggest the production has taken over several key locations with heavy security to prevent leaks.
This sequence is said to be one of the “soul-stirring” highlights of the film’s first half.
Rajamouli and his team are expected to stay in the holy city for another week before moving to international locations for the next phase of production.
