Rajamouli revealed to Tsounami that Varanasi is the first non-English to be shot entirely on IMAX. All large-scale IMAX action sequences have been filmed, with only the smaller ones remaining, he said.
He also shared that the team has completed around 80 per cent of the film. The remaining portions are currently being shot in Hyderabad. “We’ve finished the biggest action scenes. We still have the smaller scenes and everything in between,” he said.
Speaking on the state of post-production and filming, Rajamouli revealed that “every completed sequence is immediately edited and sent to the visual effects team, allowing different departments to work in parallel and keep the production on schedule.”
