After the massive success of Hanu-Man in 2024, filmmaker Prasanth Varma has now set the stage for his next ambitious venture in the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU) — Mahakali. The makers have unveiled the first look of Bhoomi Shetty as the commanding and divine goddess, marking the rise of a new superheroine in Indian cinema.
Bhoomi Shetty Transforms Into the Fierce Goddess
The newly revealed poster presents Bhoomi Shetty as Mahakali in striking shades of red and gold. Her intense expression and calm, commanding gaze embody the duality of wrath and serenity that defines the goddess. Adorned with traditional ornaments and sacred markings, Bhoomi radiates raw divine energy. Sharing the poster, the makers wrote, “From the cosmic womb of creation awakens the most FEROCIOUS SUPERHERO of the universe! Introducing Bhoomi Shetty as MAHA.”
A Bold Step With a Fresh Face
According to reports, Mahakali has already completed over 50% of its shoot and is currently being filmed on an expansive set in Hyderabad. What makes this project stand out is the decision to cast a fresh face instead of an A-list star. The makers reportedly stayed true to their creative vision, choosing Bhoomi Shetty — a dark-skinned newcomer — to ensure authenticity and power in portraying the goddess’s essence.
Puja Kolluru Directs the Next Chapter in the PVCU
Helmed by Puja Kolluru, Mahakali serves as the next monumental chapter in the PVCU, following Hanu-Man. With the tagline “From the Universe of HanuMan,” this film promises to expand the mythological superhero universe with grandeur, emotion, and spiritual symbolism. As Prasanth Varma continues to redefine Indian superhero cinema, Mahakali is poised to be one of the most anticipated films of the year.
Jay-Ho Spotlight
With Mahakali, Prasanth Varma continues his mission to blend mythology, modern storytelling, and visual spectacle. Bhoomi Shetty’s debut as the fiery goddess marks not just a bold casting choice but a celebration of raw feminine power in cinema. Fans are now eagerly waiting for the teaser, which is expected to reveal more about this divine superhero saga.
