Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas starrer Varanasi becomes first Indian film shot In Antarctica; creates history on Ross Ice Shelf SS Rajamouli’s ambitious epic Varanasi starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra Jonas is already making headlines for its scale. The film has now even achieved a historic milestone even before release. The upcoming action-adventure has become the first Indian film to be shot in Antarctica and only the fourth feature film in cinematic history to have sequences actually filmed on the frozen continent. Globally, only three feature films — South of Sanity (2012), The Odyssey (2016), and Virus (1980))— have previously shot scenes in Antarctica. Many films set in the region, such as The Thing and Eight Below, relied on visual effects or alternative locations, with no actual filming taking place on the continent. Meanwhile, Scott of the Antarctic featured pre-production landscape footage captured on location, but its principal photography began elsewhere. Adding to the achievement, Varanasi is reportedly the first film ever to cover the Ross Ice Shelf on screen, marking another cinematic first. The development positions the film among a rare category of global productions that have braved one of the harshest terrains on Earth for authentic storytelling. Directed by S. S. Rajamouli, who co-wrote the film with V. Vijayendra Prasad and S. S. Kanchi, Varanasi is mounted as a large-scale globetrotting adventure rooted in Indian cultural themes.

EXCLUSIVE: Ameena all set to complete 100 weeks in a Mumbai multiplex; the curious case behind its 'run' There was a time when it was not unusual for films to complete 50 or 100 weeks in cinemas. But as times passed and due to the shift in business models, increase in number of screens and rise of OTT platforms, it’s a feat even for a film to run for 50 days on the big screen. Hence, it’ll be a surprise for moviegoers to learn that a small-budget film, Ameena, is about to complete 100 weeks in theatres. Ameena was released on April 12, 2024, that is, in the same week as Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan. Since then, popular films and grossers like Stree 2, Pushpa 2, Chhaava, Saiyaara, Mahavatar Narsimha etc. , have been released and none of them ran for more than 10 or 15 weeks (Bollywood’s biggest grosser, Dhurandhar, currently in its 13th week and will also complete 15 weeks). Meanwhile, Ameena is running non-stop at Mumbai’s extremely popular MovieTime Hub multiplex in the morning show. At present, it is running in its 99th week; on Friday, March 6, it’ll complete 100 weeks and thus create history. An industry insider told Bollywood Hungama, “Ideally, if a film is pulling in so many viewers for nearly two long years, it would have become a talking point on social media, the way it happens with Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) or the longest running Gujarati film of all time, Chaal Jeevi Laiye (2019). People would have excitedly discussed the film’s plot, themes, p... #EXCLUSIVE #complete #film #OTT_platforms #curious_case #Ameena #weeks #Bade_Miyan #Miyan_Chote #Chote_Miyan
