After creating waves with the blockbuster HanuMan, director Prasanth Varma is now busy crafting its highly anticipated sequel Jai Hanuman. But his vision doesn’t stop there—he’s expanding his Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU) with new, larger-than-life pan-India projects featuring other directors. The first of these is the fantasy action drama Mahakali, to be helmed by Aparna Kolluru and produced in association with RKD Studios.
In a major update that’s sparking excitement, veteran Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna has been officially announced as part of the cast, making this his grand entry into Telugu cinema. Akshaye, who recently delivered a standout performance as Aurangzeb in the critically acclaimed Chhaava, is now stepping into a bold new fantasy universe.
Though the makers have kept his character details under wraps, insider reports suggest he’ll play a powerful gang leader with a Bengali backdrop, a role that promises depth and intensity. Known for his subtle yet powerful acting, Akshaye Khanna is expected to bring a unique gravitas to Mahakali, making this collaboration one to watch out for.
Prasanth Varma, who began his cinematic universe with HanuMan, is planning to bring together a variety of stories and characters, leading to a grand Avengers-like pan-world crossover event in the future. Mahakali is one of the major building blocks in this universe, and expectations are already sky-high.
With Mahakali, Akshaye Khanna steps into an exciting new phase of his career, while fans of Indian cinema look forward to another epic chapter in the ever-growing PVCU.
