- Khanna portrays Shukracharya in the film, following a first-look reveal in September 2025.
- Mahakali is positioned within the Prashanth Varma Cinematic Universe with Bhoomi Shetty leading, and it is touted as Tollywood’s first female-superhero film.
- No official release date has been announced by the makers.
- Khanna’s move comes as the Drishyam 3 producer alleges an abrupt exit and issues a legal notice, while director Abhishek Pathak says Jaideep Ahlawat enters as a new character rather than a replacement.
