Telugu filmmaker Prashanth Varma has unveiled the character poster of Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna from his upcoming film *Mahakali*. In this much-anticipated third installment of the Prashanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU), Khanna is set to portray the role of the Asuraguru Shukracharya.
In the poster, Khanna’s transformation is striking. Dressed as a sage, he appears with one ordinary eye while the other glows mysteriously, rendering him almost unrecognizable. The intense look perfectly captures the enigmatic essence of his character.
### Poster Reveal
Varma shared the poster on social media with the evocative caption, *“In the shadows of gods, rose the brightest flame of rebellion.”*
The film is directed by Puja Aparna Kolluru and produced by Riwaz Ramesh Duggal under the banner of RKD Studios. The music for *Mahakali* is composed by Smaran Sai.
### Film Details
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a Bengal circus, *Mahakali* revolves around the iconic Goddess Kali, revered as Mahakali in the region. The story promises to weave mythology with an intriguing setting, offering a fresh cinematic experience.
The film is gearing up for a pan-Indian release and will be available in multiple languages, including an IMAX 3D format. However, the official release date is yet to be announced.
Akshaye Khanna, who was last seen in *Chhaava* alongside Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, is also slated to appear soon in Ranveer Singh’s *Dhurandhar*.
Stay tuned for more updates on *Mahakali* as the film progresses towards its release.
