'Mahakali' enters final leg of filming after 125 days of shoot
Chennai, July 14
If sources in the industry are to be believed, director Puja Aparna Kolluru's eagerly awaited film, 'Mahakali', the highly anticipated next chapter in the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe, has now entered its final phase of shooting.
Sources close to the unit of the film claim that the unit has just begun its final phase of shooting. The ambitious mythological epic has now successfully completed 125 days of shooting.
Designed as a grand cinematic spectacle, 'Mahakali' is being filmed for IMAX, promising audiences breathtaking visuals and an immersive big-screen experience unlike any other.
Produced by RK Duggal and Riwaz Ramesh Duggal under the RKD Studios banner, the film has Prasanth Varma as its creator and Puja Kolluru as its director.
Sources close to the unit claim that the production has also marked a significant milestone with Rohit Saraf completing his portions.
Akshaye Khanna, who is playing the powerful role of Shukracharya, has already wrapped filming for his pivotal role, while Rohit Saraf has now finished shooting for his character.
For the unaware, Bhoomi Shetty plays the titular role of 'Mahakali', and her striking first-look poster showcasing the goddess in a fierce divine avatar had received a warm response.
Likewise, Akshaye Khanna's first look as Shukracharya generated immense buzz, further raising expectations for his impactful role in the PVCU.
The film features an ensemble of several acclaimed actors from different industries and is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious mythological spectacles in Indian cinema, combining spiritual grandeur with cutting-edge cinematic scale.
On the technical front, the film will have music composed by Smaran Sai. Cinematography for the film is by Suresh Ragutu while production design is by Sri Nagendra Tangala.
Sources claim that with the final leg of shooting now underway, the makers are working at full pace to complete production and move into post-production.

Akshaye Khanna as Shukracharya is such brilliant casting! His intensity in the first look poster gave me chills. And Rohit Saraf completing his portions shows the scale of this project. Really excited to see how PVCU expands - Hoping this becomes our own MCU but with Indian mythology! 🇮🇳✨
Hear me out - 125 days of shooting is serious dedication. But my only concern is whether they'll stick to authentic storytelling or add unnecessary commercial elements. The Goddess deserves respect, not just spectacle. Hope director Puja Aparna Kolluru balances both! 🤞
As someone who loved Bhoomi Shetty in her previous work, I'm so happy she's getting this massive opportunity! Playing Mahakali is no small feat - the costume, the expressions, the power... all need to be perfect. Also, IMAX format for a mythological film? This is going to be a visual treat!!! 🎬🌟
Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe is such an ambitious idea! But let's be real - building a universe needs consistent quality across films. Hope Mahakali maintains the standards set by the previous PVCU installments. Also, Smaran Sai's music needs to be epic - the background score can make or break a mythological film! 🎵
As an American living in India for work, I've grown to love Indian cinema. This sounds like it could be the next big thing! The combination of mythology, IMAX technology, and a diverse cast is really exciting. Can't wait to see how they portray the
