The leaked plot summary teases time travel and superhero elements in the movie. It also hints at a doomsday like scenario from which a "saviour" will rise and help rebuild the world. The leaked summary of Varanasi reads, “When an asteroid hits the city of Varanasi in India, what are the events that it leads to? Is the world about to be doomed? Does it need a saviour who has to traverse across the continents and timelines to influence the most crucial moment in the history of Earth?”

However, whether this is the official plot of Varanasi or not remains to be confirmed by the makers. While it was expected that Rajamouli and team would release the movie in next year, it has been revealed that it will hit the big screens in 2027. Many are also speculating that like Baahubali, Rajamouli may split Varanasi into two parts. It also stars Priyanka and Mandakini and Prithviraj Sukumaran as the villain Kumbha.
