@Meesala69 They will target world cinema, not just Indian cinema, to get proper returns on these 1.43:1 IMAX screens.

🚨 HYDERABAD IMAX HISTORY COULD REPEAT ITSELF — THIS TIME AT HAKIMPET. 🔥

A new 1.43:1 IMAX screen is reportedly being planned at Hakimpet, Hyderabad, potentially before the release of #Varanasi. 👀

Back in 2009, #Avatar reportedly grossed around ₹7.5 CRORE ($1.5M+) from Prasads IMAX Hyderabad ALONE — one of the most legendary single-screen runs in India.

Now imagine:

HAKIMPET 1.43:1 IMAX × MAHESH BABU × SS RAJAMOULI × #VARANASI 🌋

Can #Varanasi break Avatar’s iconic Hyderabad single-screen gross and create a NEW ALL-TIME IMAX RECORD? 🎯🔥

If this Hakimpet screen opens in time… the madness could be UNREAL.

Hopefully more films start shooting in true 1.43:1 IMAX like The Odyssey and Varanasi. That format hits different on the big screen.
Currently, these are the only two films in world cinema history being shot entirely in 1.43:1.
For that matter, even Avatar wasn’t shot in 1.43:1, but it still ran for more than 250 days at Prasad IMAX , a huge achievement at that time.

Varanasi is literally the first Indian film (and first non-English film) being shot in true 1.43:1 IMAX format. Rajamouli confirmed it multiple times.

This isn’t a regular Flat/Scope movie that will have black bars. The entire film is being framed and shot for that taller IMAX ratio.

From PAN-INDIAN to PAN-WORLD. 🌍🔥

When @StudioBinder is breaking down how Indian cinema became a global spectacle, and #Varanasi is part of that conversation , you know the scale has changed.

Rajamouli isn’t just making another Indian blockbuster.
He’s aiming at the WORLD STAGE. 🚀

@aresthethird2 Are these guys serious? 😭 How are they even comparing this Hindi serial with the Oscar-winning #RRR and the globally celebrated #NaatuNaatu? Come on… they’re not even in the same league. 🔥

[Next Buzz Zone @TFIBUZZZONE]

#Varanasi worldwide collection > the COMBINED worldwide collection of ALL Bollywood films released in 2027. 🔥🌍

Sounds insane today? Maybe.

But if Rajamouli delivers the global event he’s building, this could become one of those predictions people screenshot after history is made. 👀

Do you agree? 🎯

4 YEARS later… and #NaatuNaatu is STILL making waves across the world. 🌍🔥

People are still dancing. Crowds are still recreating it. The energy of #RRR simply refuses to fade.

That’s not just a hit song.
That’s global pop-culture impact. 🤘

Rajamouli didn’t just make a movie , he created an echo that’s still travelling.

Animal released only in Dec 2023… the 5-year clock isn’t even over yet. 😏

And by the time it is, #Varanasi could make that statement look conservative.

Not just Mumbai. Not just Tollywood. INDIA → WORLD. 🌍🔥

Rajamouli + Mahesh Babu + event-cinema scale + a true global rollout , if everything lands, we could be looking at ₹3,000–₹5,000+ Cr worldwide territory, with the absolute dream target being $1 BILLION.

Don’t delete this tweet.
History may answer it for you. #Varanasi 🌊🔥

🚨 #VARANASI ISN’T JUST MAKING A MOVIE… THEY’RE DOCUMENTING HOW HISTORY IS BEING MADE. 🌍🔥

A Making-of Documentary appears to be in the works — and imagine the possibilities:

🎬 BEFORE RELEASE: A glimpse into the insane scale, locations, technology & filmmaking — the perfect weapon to introduce #Varanasi to GLOBAL audiences.

🎥 AFTER RELEASE: The complete breakdown — VFX, massive sequences, technology and HOW Rajamouli actually pulled it all off.

The real campaign is VARANASI → THE WORLD. 🌎

If Rajamouli cracks that global audience…

$1 BILLION. 💰
FIRST INDIAN FILM. 🇮🇳
HISTORY. 🔥

This could be much bigger than we are imagining right now.

Yes, I know — only ~40+ venues worldwide are the “true” 1.43:1 IMAX experience I’m referring to. 😄

But that doesn’t make the other IMAX screens irrelevant. Millions of people still want the IMAX experience on 1.90:1 digital/laser screens — what people casually call “LieMAX.”

For #Varanasi, both matter: 1.43:1 for the ultimate presentation, and the much larger 1.90:1 IMAX network for global reach. 🔥

Fair point — $300–400M itself would be massive. But here’s the wild card: imagine if even 30–40% of the global audience that discovered #RRR through Netflix turns up in theatres for #Varanasi. 👀

Rajamouli doesn’t need the whole world — he needs a fraction of that awareness converted into theatrical footfalls. Add strong global distribution, aggressive marketing, China + Japan clicking, and suddenly the ceiling becomes very difficult to predict. 🔥

[Next Buzz Zone @TFIBUZZZONE]

Why can #Varanasi become the first Indian film to cross $1 BILLION worldwide? 🌍🔥

Because Rajamouli has already rewritten the limits of Indian cinema once.

Before #Baahubali, ₹100 Cr itself was a huge benchmark for Telugu cinema.

Then came Rajamouli.

#Baahubali → ₹600+ Cr worldwide
#Baahubali2 → ₹1,800+ Cr worldwide 🔥

A regional Telugu filmmaker turned his vision into an all-India phenomenon and then took it overseas.

Now imagine the same leap with #Varanasi.

This time Rajamouli starts with something he didn’t have before:

🌎 Worldwide recognition after #RRR
🏆 Oscar-winning team
🎥 IMAX-scale spectacle
🇺🇸🇯🇵🇬🇧🇦🇺🇪🇺 much bigger overseas awareness
⭐ Mahesh Babu + Priyanka Chopra + Prithviraj
🕉️ Indian mythology + global adventure
🔥 Africa, Varanasi, ancient worlds & massive action
🌍 A story designed to travel beyond language

#Baahubali showed what happens when Rajamouli breaks the ceiling.

₹100 Cr era → ₹1,800 Cr

#Varanasi could be the next leap.

₹1,800 Cr → $1 BILLION? 👀🔥

History doesn’t have to repeat itself.

Rajamouli just needs to do what he has already done once: redefine what is possible for Indian cinema. 🌍
