On Saturday, the makers of SS Rajamouli’s upcoming film Varanasi released two brand‑new posters to mark actress Priyanka Chopra’s birthday. The images showcase the Bollywood star in her role as Mandakini, a fierce globetrotting character who is described as strong, vulnerable, and unforgettable in equal measure.
The first poster presents Chopra with a dramatic black corset‑style ensemble, sheer full sleeves, and a tousled up‑do. Her piercing gaze, smoky eye makeup, and emerald statement earrings give her a warrior‑like, enigmatic aura that has fans referring to her as the “jungli billi” returning to the big screen.
In contrast, the second poster highlights a carefree, adventurous side of the actress. Dressed in a white crop top, an oversized beige shirt, and black cargo pants, Chopra is captured mid‑air with arms spread wide and a radiant smile. The backdrop features rolling mountains, open grasslands, and even zebras and giraffes, underscoring the film’s global tone.
Fans flooded social media with praise, commenting on Chopra’s striking transformation. One user noted, “Female lead antagonist side ah???”, while another wrote, “Can’t believe I’ve been watching her films since I was a child, she’s still on top of her game.” Others celebrated her confidence across both looks, saying, “Two completely different looks, yet she owns both with the same confidence. That’s what makes Priyanka Chopra special.”
The posters were posted on the film’s official social media handles with the caption, “To more adventures… more discoveries… and journeys across every horizon ♥️♥️.” The release has generated excitement for the film, which is directed by SS Rajamouli and is set to feature Chopra in a role that blends strength and vulnerability.
