There is no denying that Eega (2012) is the film that truly shaped SS Rajamouli beyond routine commercial cinema. It proved that a star is not mandatory to take content global. Rajamouli made an insect the hero and delivered a blockbuster that surprised everyone.
This film became one of the earliest steps in his journey toward global recognition, much before Baahubali. Now, Eega is back in the spotlight, with fans actively revisiting it on social media. It has been officially announced via the SS Rajamouli–Varanasi project handle that Eega will be re-released in 2026, not just in India but also overseas, aiming to reach international audiences once again.
Even before Baahubali, Eega had already introduced Rajamouli to global viewers. The idea, execution, and visual imagination still make the film stand out and continue to impress audiences worldwide.
With the re-release scheduled for next year, the film is expected to gain renewed global attention and possibly earn fresh recognition. This also helps build momentum and visibility for Varanasi, Rajamouli’s next ambitious project.
The Nani, Samantha, and Kichcha Sudeep-starrer remains very much relevant, and official announcements regarding its re-release will be made at the right time.
Meanwhile, SS Rajamouli and his core team are currently focused on shaping Varanasi, a mammoth project starring Mahesh Babu in the lead. The film is targeting a 2027 release, with more updates expected in the coming days.
