Mahesh Babu Takes New Year Break From Varanasi Shoot, Flies Out With Family

The brief getaway coincides with S. S. Rajamouli’s action-adventure Varanasi moving toward a 2027 release with a star cast confirmed in November.

Overview

  • A paparazzo video from Hyderabad airport showed Mahesh Babu departing with Namrata Shirodkar and their children, Gautam and Sitara.
  • The outing comes during a temporary pause in filming for S. S. Rajamouli’s Varanasi, as reported by Hindustan Times.
  • Coverage describes the trip as a New Year vacation, with no official destination disclosed.
  • News18 highlighted a recent light‑hearted moment where Mahesh flashed his passport, echoing Rajamouli’s earlier tongue‑in‑cheek “passport” joke on social media.
  • Varanasi was officially unveiled in November with Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran and is slated for a Sankranti 2027 theatrical release, with production earlier reported to have begun quietly in January.
