Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas were spotted enjoying a movie night with Mahesh Babu in Hyderabad as filming continues on SS Rajamouli’s ambitious action-adventure film Varanasi, states Hindustan Times.
Priyanka Chopra is balancing work and family during her stay in Hyderabad as she continues filming SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated action-adventure film Varanasi.
The actor recently stepped out for a movie night with husband Nick Jonas and co-star Mahesh Babu.
The trio posed together at AMB Cinemas, the Hyderabad multiplex chain co-owned by Mahesh Babu, with the photograph quickly drawing attention on social media.
The picture, shared by AMB Cinemas on X, showed Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas and Mahesh Babu smiling for the camera after their outing.
Priyanka opted for a sleeveless ivory V-neck textured top paired with oversized tinted sunglasses, while Nick wore an all-white outfit consisting of a textured shirt layered over a white vest.
Mahesh Babu kept his look casual in a black oversized T-shirt, matching trousers and a cap.
Sharing the image, AMB Cinemas wrote, “A truly star-studded evening at AMB Cinemas. The Globe Trotter Superstar @urstrulyMahesh, Desi Girl Mandakini @priyankachopra and @nickjonas graced us with their presence for a memorable movie night. It was a pleasure hosting you all. See you again soon,” ending the message with a “7” emoji, hinting at a future announcement.
Priyanka recently spoke about Varanasi during an appearance on the Jonas Brothers’ podcast, revealing that she has been associated with the project for around 14 months.
The actor said director SS Rajamouli personally approached her for the film.
“He called me for this movie and it’s this epic adventure around the world and in time. It has taken a minute but I am so excited about it,” she said.
Without revealing much about the storyline, Priyanka teased that audiences will see her performing several action sequences.
“I do so many amazing slow-motion jumps in it and that’s all I can say about it,” she added.
Set in the aftermath of an asteroid named Shambhavi striking Earth, Varanasi follows Rudhra, a Shiva devotee and divine warrior, as he travels across continents and timelines in search of a powerful cosmic artefact.
The story reportedly centres on Rudhra’s battle against Kumbha, a wealthy and ruthless antagonist seeking global domination.
Priyanka Chopra plays Mandakini, a character believed to play a crucial role in guiding Rudhra through mythological eras while helping uncover long-buried secrets.
The film also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran in a key role and is scheduled for a theatrical release on 7 April, 2027.
Reportedly mounted on a budget between ₹1,200 crore and ₹1,400 crore, Varanasi is expected to rank among the most expensive Indian films ever produced.
