Thousands of fans gathered at Ramoji Film City on Saturday to witness the grand Globetrotter event. Director SS Rajamouli and lead cast members Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran attended the celebration, which began at 7 pm and was live-streamed on JioHotstar and Variety. At the event, the makers announced the film’s title as Varanasi and unveiled Mahesh Babu’s first look.

Title and Mahesh Babu's first look reveal

The title reveal took place on a massive screen, drawing loud cheers from fans. This comes amid speculations of the film being titled either Varanasi or Sanchari. Before the event, the first looks of Prithviraj and Priyanka Chopra had been released, while Mahesh Babu’s was kept under wraps. At the venue, his first glimpse was finally shown—he appears fierce, holding a trisulam (trident), covered in blood, and riding a bull, with temple silhouettes in the background. The teaser also hints at a time-travel theme, with the words “GlobeTrotter” and “TimeTrotter” appearing at the end.
