RKD Studios and visionary filmmaker Prasanth Varma, the creative force who redefined the superhero genre with Hanu-Man, have taken the nation by storm as they unveiled the powerful and never-before-seen look of Akshaye Khanna from Mahakali. The first look, revealed on the auspicious occasion of Durga Puja, comes as a real surprise for audiences and sets the stage for what promises to be a monumental era of Indian cinema.
Akshaye Khanna essays the role of Shukracharya in this big-scale film. Seen in a striking new avatar, he dons the striking saintly persona of a revered Guru for the first time on screen. With flowing silver beard, ascetic robes, and luminous eyes that pierce through the darkness, he embodies a mystic whose wisdom shaped the destiny of gods and demons alike. Known as the master of Sanatana Vidya and keeper of the secretive Mrita-Sanjivani Mantra, the power to restore life—this portrayal channels his duality: the spiritual guide and the indomitable strategist who could alter the cosmic balance
The striking visual evokes the legendary essence of Shukracharya, the revered guru of the Asuras in Hindu mythology, standing before a colossal mountain fortress enclosed by towering cliffs. Under a storm-laden sky, with flames rising from ancient altars, the figure radiates both meditative serenity and unyielding power.
With Puja Kolluru at the helm, Mahakali marks not only the next big chapter of the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU) but also Akshaye Khanna’s grand debut in Telugu cinema. His menacing, powerful look ensures a foray that is as unique as it is unforgettable.
Backed by RK Duggal and Riwaz Ramesh Duggal, RKD Studios is setting the stage for Mahakali. With Prasanth Varma’s vision and Puja Kolluru’s directorial prowess, this next chapter of the PVCU promises a cinematic spectacle that fans have been eagerly waiting for.
