After the box office success of ‘Dhurandhar’ and ‘Dhurandhar The Revenge’, rumors are rife that filmmaker SS Rajamouli, who has praised Ranveer Singh’s film, is preparing to release his upcoming action-adventure film in two parts. So will ‘Varanasi’ also be released in two parts?

Varanasi will be released in two parts?
Let us tell you that in the reports of Bollywood Hungama it has been said that the filmmaker is now ready to adopt a two-part release strategy. With this, this film starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj will join the growing list of big-scale Indian films which are choosing this format of storytelling.

The budget will be divided into two parts
The report says that this story based on time travel, which is expected to be one of the most expensive Indian films with a budget of more than Rs 1,000 crore, will now be divided into two parts. The report claims, “More than three hours will not be enough for Varanasi. They are considering extending it in a two-part format.

Varanasi will not be a sequel but will be a film
This format has worked very well for ‘Dhurandhar’. Rajamouli and his team feel that this extended format will give them the freedom to tell a more detailed story without having to worry about clockwork.” Like ‘Dhurandhar The Revenge’, it will reportedly not be a sequel, but a single film divided into two installments.

This step is being taken at a time when multi-part stories have proven successful at the box office, especially for those films with big concepts and huge budgets. Considering Rajamouli’s past record with grand films like ‘Baahubali’, expectations from ‘Varanasi’ are already sky high; This film is being said to be one of the most expensive Indian films ever made.
