Tollywood icon Mahesh Babu is taking his preparation for the highly anticipated SS Rajamouli film Varanasi to the next level by training in Kalaripayattu, one of the oldest martial arts in India. The actor has been working closely with a Hyderabad-based trainer, who praised Mahesh’s discipline and commitment, calling him “deeply inspiring.”
The martial art training is part of Mahesh’s effort to authentically portray his character Rudhra in what is expected to be a globetrotting action adventure. Kalaripayattu, known for its fluid movements, agility drills, and traditional combat techniques, helps enhance strength, flexibility, and body awareness — skills that will benefit Mahesh on screen.
Directed by SS Rajamouli, Varanasi continues the filmmaker’s legacy of epic cinema following his global hits. The production has generated buzz across India with its ambitious scale, and Mahesh’s intense preparation adds to the excitement. Fans and film lovers are eager to see how his Kalaripayattu training influences his performance in this major project, which is shaping up as one of the most talked-about releases in South Indian cinema.
