A lively discussion has been growing online ever since the first glimpse of S. S. Rajamouli’s upcoming film Varanasi was released. The short video, which highlights a grand and mystical world, has impressed fans so much that many are now requesting something unusual: they want the Varanasi glimpse to be screened in cinemas along with James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash when it arrives worldwide.
Supporters say the reason is simple. Avatar films draw massive global crowds, and attaching the Varanasi glimpse to such a release would instantly give the Indian film international visibility. Fans believe this is the perfect chance to introduce Rajamouli’s new world to people outside India, especially because his earlier films have already found audiences abroad.
Many viewers feel the tone and scale of Varanasi make it an ideal match for the visual richness of the Avatar series. The glimpse features sweeping landscapes, mysterious settings, and a powerful lead character, which has led fans to compare its ambition with the imaginative universes created by Cameron. Because of this similarity in scale, the idea of pairing the two has gained strong traction on social media.
Another reason fans think the plan could work is the friendly relationship between Rajamouli and Cameron. The two filmmakers have publicly praised each other’s work in the past, and fans see this as an encouraging sign. Some even argue that such a collaboration could set a new trend, showing how filmmakers from different parts of the world can support each other’s vision.
However, despite the excitement, there has been no official comment from Rajamouli or his production team. It is still unclear whether such a partnership is possible or whether discussions are even taking place. Even so, the enthusiasm continues to grow as more people join the conversation online.
For now, the fan movement reflects how strongly audiences are waiting for Varanasi. The reaction to a short glimpse has already created a global buzz, and many believe the film could become one of the most talked-about releases once more details are revealed.
