MM Keeravani gearing up for another pan‑India fantasy after Varanasi

Varanasi has already become one of the most talked-about films in Indian cinema and at its heart is Oscar‑winning music composer mm keeravani , whose melodies helped make RRR and Baahubali global phenomena. Right now, his laser focus is on Varanasi , the magnum opus from visionary filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli starring Mahesh babu , Priyanka chopra jonas and Prithviraj sukumaran . This epic action‑adventure, shot partly in breathtaking IMAX and inspired by ancient Indian mythology with an emotional core rooted in a ramayana sequence, is slated for a summer 2027 release and has already given fans goosebumps with its stunning first look and title event.

But as Varanasi builds unstoppable buzz, industry whispers suggest that mm keeravani isn’t resting on one colossal project alone. According to ongoing reports, the veteran composer has now reportedly been signed to score music for Jai Hanuman , the sequel to the blockbuster Hanu‑Man . Hanu‑Man was a surprise smash of 2024 and helped launch director Prashanth Varma's cinematic universe; its sequel is expected to expand that world even further.

Jai Hanuman is shaping up as another pan‑India mythological fantasy, with Rishabh Shetty stepping into the role of the iconic deity and Rana Daggubati said to play a pivotal part in the film. Production house mythri movie makers , fresh off multiple big ventures, are backing the project, which is gearing up for a grand launch event in Hampi on February 22, 2026 .

If the rumours hold true, this would be a gigantic addition to the Jai Hanuman project, especially coming right after Varanasi . Keeravani’s involvement would bring not just his trademark musical brilliance but also the kind of global attention that follows one of cinema’s most beloved composers. With Varanasi already setting the bar sky‑high and Keeravani’s name drawing audiences from every corner of India's diverse film landscape, Jai Hanuman could be poised for even broader impact.

Fans are already buzzing on social platforms about these developments, with many pointing to the mythological roots and ambitious scale of both Varanasi and Jai Hanuman as defining features of what could be a new golden era for mythic storytelling in Indian cinema. Whether it’s the rich emotional beats woven into Rajamouli's vision or the devotional grandeur anticipated in Jai Hanuman , Keeravani’s music is expected to be at the very soul of these films.
