Overview
- Reports published Thursday say multiple Indian trade outlets are reporting that director S. S. Rajamouli has commissioned a fully developed fictional language for his film Varanasi.
- Those reports say a linguistic expert has been hired to create a structured system with vocabulary, grammar and a written script rather than just a few phrases.
- Coverage describes the language as integral to the plot, with characters encountering inscriptions in a cave and needing to learn the tongue to unfold the story.
- Varanasi is described in the reports as a globetrotting, time‑spanning Telugu action‑adventure starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran that is planned to be shot extensively in 1.43:1 IMAX and released April 7, 2027.
- The project is framed as a scale‑up of Rajamouli’s Kiliki experiment from Baahubali and is said to involve collaborators such as Madhan Karky, but the production has not issued an on‑the‑record confirmation of these details.
