The makers of 'Mahakali' have unveiled Akshaye Khanna's full look as Shukracharya, while announcing that the teaser for the mythological drama will be released on August 24, 2026.
Khanna's look as Shukracharya had already generated buzz following the release of a teaser poster. The upcoming video glimpse, however, will offer the first detailed look at his portrayal of the legendary guru of the Asuras. Making his Telugu cinema debut with Prashanth Varma's 'Mahakali', the actor appears in an unrecognisable avatar, sporting a long silver-white beard, intense eyes, matted hair styled in a topknot and traditional tilak markings. https://www.instagram.com/p/DcNkG6dT1tC/ 'Mahakali' is part of the expanding Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU), the franchise established with Hanu-Man. Written and conceptualised by showrunner Prasanth Varma, directed by Puja Kolluru and backed by RKD Studios, the film is being billed as India's first female-led superhero film. The project stars Bhoomi Shetty in the titular role of 'Mahakali', alongside Rohit Saraf. On July 14, the makers announced that production on the highly anticipated epic had officially entered its final leg, bringing a monumental 125-day shooting schedule to a close. The film has also attracted considerable attention for its scale, having been shot specifically for IMAX to deliver an immersive cinematic experience. (ANI)
