Priyanka Chopra gave fans the perfect birthday surprise as the makers of SS Rajamouli’s upcoming film Varanasi unveiled two brand-new posters featuring the actor in her powerful role as Mandakini. The striking first look instantly grabbed attention online, with fans praising her transformation and calling it the return of the “jungli billi.”
Released on Saturday to mark Priyanka’s birthday, the posters offered two completely different shades of her character, showcasing both strength and adventure. Sharing the posters on social media, the makers wrote, “To more adventures… more discoveries… and journeys across every horizon.”
The first poster presents Priyanka in an intense and mysterious avatar. Dressed in a stylish black outfit with dramatic detailing, she sports a bold hairstyle, smoky eye makeup, and statement emerald earrings. Her fierce expression and commanding presence have already made the image one of the most talked-about movie posters of the year.
The second poster reveals a completely different side of Mandakini. Priyanka is seen smiling brightly while jumping in the air against a breathtaking backdrop of mountains, open grasslands, zebras, and giraffes. Wearing a casual white crop top, oversized beige shirt, and black cargo pants, she looks adventurous, carefree, and full of energy.
According to the makers, Mandakini is a fearless globetrotter who is both strong and emotionally layered, making her one of the film’s most intriguing characters.
Soon after the posters were released, social media was flooded with reactions. Fans couldn’t stop praising Priyanka’s screen presence, with many calling her transformation “iconic.”

Several users described the first poster as giving major “jungli billi” vibes, while others called her the “action queen” and said they were excited to see her back in Indian cinema. Many also admired how effortlessly she carried two completely different looks while maintaining the same confidence and charisma.
Varanasi marks Priyanka Chopra’s return to Indian films after an eight-year break, making the project even more special for her fans.
Directed by SS Rajamouli and written by Vijayendra Prasad, Varanasi is one of the most anticipated Indian films in production. The movie stars Mahesh Babu, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Priyanka Chopra, and promises a unique blend of mythology, Indian folklore, and science fiction with elements of time travel.
Rajamouli has already confirmed that Varanasi will be a standalone film rather than a franchise. The filmmaker also revealed that Mahesh Babu will portray Lord Rama in one of the movie’s key sequences.
Scheduled to release in April 2027, Varanasi has already generated tremendous buzz, and Priyanka Chopra’s latest posters have only increased fans’ excitement to see her return to the big screen in a powerful new avatar.
