Director Prasanth Varma of HanuMan fame, announced on Thursday that the third film from the PVCU (Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe) is going to be Mahakali. The makers made the announcement with a striking motion teaser that features a little girl holding head to head with a tiger. The film marks the entry of India’s female superhero film with the HanuMan universe. “This Navratri, we’re breaking the mold and redefining what a superhero can be,” the makers wrote on X.
Puja Kolluru is the director for Mahakali, who previously helmed Martin Luther King starring Sampoornesh Babu. The film is said to be based in Bengal in the backdrop of a circus. As in Prasanth’s previous film, Goddess Kali, who is known as Mahakali in the region, is the divine connection point for this film.
RKD Studios is set to venture into production with Mahakali, which will be shot on a vast canvas with a massive budget and rich technical standards. The film, written by Prasanth Varma, will be produced by Riwaz Ramesh Duggal under RKD Studios and presented by RK Duggal. Smaran Sai composes the music, while Sri Nagendra Tangalla is the production designer. The film's main cast and additional technicians will be announced later.
Mahakali is set to release in major pan-Indian and international languages with IMAX 3D format. The release date will be announced soon.
