Prasanth Varma unveils Mahakali and expands cinematic universe with five new superhero films

hindustantimes.com

Filmmaker Prasanth Varma is expanding his Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU) with five new superhero films, including Mahakali, his first female superhero. This follows the success of HanuMan, which grossed ₹295 crore worldwide. Varma aims to base his films on Indian mythology, moving away from typical superhero narratives. He plans to write but not direct most of the upcoming films, allowing other directors to take the lead. For Mahakali, Varma will not use brown-face for casting, emphasizing a commitment to challenging beauty standards. He is currently finalizing the cast for Jai Hanuman and working on other projects outside the PVCU.
