The film is aiming for a Sankranthi 2027 release.
Priyanka Chopra walked into the Varanasi title launch in Hyderabad with a look that stopped people in their tracks.
Nick Jonas revived his “my desi girl” tag on Instagram and added “just wow” and “breathtaking” while sharing her photos.
He posted two separate Stories that fans circulated widely online as excitement around the event surged.
His reaction arrived shortly after the Varanasi team dropped its first teaser, which had been highly anticipated.
Priyanka later reshared Nick’s posts with a crying laughing emoji and a heart, turning the moment into a trending highlight.
Priyanka wore an all ivory Anamika Khanna lehenga detailed with gold crystals, sequins and antique gold metallic embroidery bordering the skirt.
The ensemble included an embroidered soft dupatta with delicate motifs and a golden border that added refined movement.
She styled her long braid with a jadangam, creating a strong, South Indian-inspired statement.
A traditional kamarbandh brought elegant structure, while gold and pearl hair accessories added temple-style detailing.
A green bindi, shimmery highlights, a glowing complexion and a glossy light brown lip completed her “inner devi” look.
Priyanka had already shared photos on Instagram with the caption “Channelling my inner devi (goddess).”
Fans immediately praised the ethereal styling and the serene elegance of her appearance.
At Ramoji Film City on November 15, she greeted fans with a warm “namaste” that sparked loud cheers across the venue.
Many admirers also linked the moment to her celebrated Desi girl era, enhanced by her sleek and modern bridal leaning styling.
Her ivory and gold lehenga has since become a fresh reference point for brides seeking a sophisticated sangeet or mehendi look.
The pairing of a white palette with South Indian jewellery offers wedding inspiration for anyone wanting a unique yet classic aesthetic.
Beyond the fashion, Priyanka’s appearance marked her return to Indian cinema after six years.
She plays Mandakini in SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi, starring alongside Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
Her recently released character poster showed her in a saree holding a gun during a mid-action sequence.
Rajamouli captioned it as a welcome back to “the woman who redefined Indian cinema on the global stage.”
The poster set strong early momentum, but the title reveal event intensified the growing buzz surrounding the film.
Nick continued his support by sharing Mahesh Babu’s poster with the message:
“Congrats to the whole team. This film is sure to be incredible.”
It was unusual to see an American pop star promoting a Telugu film teaser, but it proved the couple’s expanding global influence.
Fans reposted Nick’s messages within minutes, highlighting how quickly the moment travelled across South Asian digital communities.
By the next morning, the Varanasi teaser had already drawn strong numbers online.
The team plans to release character videos later, although they have not finalised timings.
Early industry chatter suggests the film is aiming for a Sankranthi 2027 release, although the date remains unconfirmed.
The “my desi girl” highlight added unexpected charm to the rising anticipation surrounding one of the most talked-about releases ahead.
