Mahesh Babu and S. S. Rajamouli’s much-awaited film Varanasi has ramped up security on its sets after another wave of leaks surfaced online.
The collaboration between superstar Mahesh Babu and acclaimed director Rajamouli has been closely watched, especially after Rajamouli’s recent global success. The film, touted as a globe-trotting adventure, also features Prithviraj Sukumaran and is currently filming across locations like Odisha, Africa, and Hyderabad.
Earlier, footage from the Varanasi schedule showing Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran made its way online, reportedly upsetting Rajamouli.

According to sources, these scenes are pivotal to the story, leading the team to worry about potential spoilers that could impact audience excitement.
The production’s decision to increase security demonstrates their commitment to preserving the film’s surprises. With expectations soaring, fans are eagerly awaiting official updates, while the team works hard to keep further details under wraps ahead of the film’s next big reveal.
