Superstar Mahesh Babu, global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and singer-actor Nick Jonas made headlines after they were spotted together for a special movie night at AMB Cinemas in Hyderabad. The theatre, which is co-owned by Mahesh Babu, shared a picture of the trio on social media, delighting fans and sparking fresh excitement around the actor's upcoming film Varanasi.
Sharing the memorable moment on X, AMB Cinemas wrote, "A truly star-studded evening at AMB Cinemas. The Globe Trotter Superstar Mahesh, Desi Girl Mandakini Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas graced us with their presence for a memorable movie night. It was a pleasure hosting you all. See you again soon. #VARANASI." The post quickly grabbed attention, with fans celebrating the rare public appearance of the three stars together.
Priyanka Chopra is currently in Hyderabad filming SS Rajamouli's ambitious big-budget project, Varanasi. The actress is reportedly playing Mandakini, starring opposite Mahesh Babu in what is being described as an epic adventure blending mythology, science fiction, and time travel. The film has already become one of the most anticipated Indian releases even before its first official promotional material has been unveiled.
The hashtag #VARANASI used by AMB Cinemas has added fuel to speculation that the makers may be preparing for a major announcement. Fans were quick to decode the post, with many believing the theatre's teasing caption hints at an upcoming update, whether it be a first-look poster, teaser, or another promotional reveal. While there has been no official confirmation, the social media buzz surrounding the film continues to grow.
The picture of Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Nick Jonas inside the theatre has also gone viral across fan pages. Many praised the trio's stylish appearance, while others expressed excitement over seeing Priyanka back in Indian cinema after several years. Nick Jonas, who has often accompanied Priyanka during her India visits, was also warmly welcomed by fans online.
Directed by SS Rajamouli, Varanasi is expected to be one of the biggest cinematic spectacles in Indian cinema. Combining mythology with futuristic storytelling and large-scale visual effects, the film is reportedly slated for a theatrical release in April 2027. Until then, every update—from on-set sightings to social media posts—continues to build anticipation for what could be one of the biggest releases of the year.
