‘VARANASI to the WORLD’ decoded: Hidden details you missed; SS Rajamouli’s movie teaser packed with clues |
SS Rajamouli’s much-awaited film ‘Varanasi’ unveiled its first teaser in Hyderabad on Saturday. The grand teaser offers the audiences a glimpse which is more than a visual treat, it’s a puzzle loaded with intriguing hints.
Time plays a major role
One of the biggest takeaways is the film’s travel across multiple time periods. Whether it’s an Antarctic iceberg, the African skies, or the mythical Trethayuga, Rudhra appears in every timeline. This suggests that Rajamouli may be crafting a narrative where time travel or reincarnation has a major role.
Rudhra and Kumbha in Trethayuga
A standout sequence features Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Kumbha chasing Rudhra during what seems like a Trethayuga battle. Many viewers initially assumed the sequence referenced the legendary Ram–Ravana war. A closer look points to the clash between Lord Rama and Kumbhakarna. The visuals of the Vanara Sena, the charging demon, and the setting resembles Lanka. Rudhra and Kumbha seem to show the ancient conflict. This hints that the film may draw parallels between past mythology and present-day events.
Chhinnamasta Devi and Mandakini’s connection
Another details lies in the introduction of a mysterious woman falling through the Ugrabhatti Cave in Vanaanchal. The statue present in the cave belongs to Goddess Chhinnamasta who is a fierce form representing self-sacrifice, transformation, and cosmic balance. Its thematic link to Priyanka Chopra’s Mandakini suggests a deeper spiritual arc within the storyline.

The Shambhavi asteroid and the butterfly effect
The teaser ends with an asteroid named Shambhavi hurtling toward Earth in 2027 which is the same year Varanasi hits theatres. The narrative seems to originate from a yagna performed by sages in 512 CE. This shows that ancient rituals may have unknowingly triggered a cosmic chain reaction.In the glimpse you can see that almost every frame features a curved design element and this subtly reinforce theories of cyclical time, destiny loops, and nonlinear storytelling.Overall, it’s sure that with ‘Varanasi’, SS Rajamouli is all set to showcase a grand story telling which has several inner layers connected to science and mythology.
