Kannada actor Bhoomi Shetty, who has successfully transitioned into the Telugu film industry, is now gearing up for a starring role in Mahakali, a thrilling addition to the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU). This exciting project, created by visionary filmmaker Prasanth Varma, will be directed by the talented Puja Aparna Kolluru.
Fans got their first glimpse of Bhoomi Shetty’s transformation when Prasanth Varma unveiled the film’s first-look poster on social media this Thursday, October 30, 2025. The striking poster showcases Bhoomi in a fierce, goddess-like avatar, hinting at the powerful character she is set to portray. Varma teased the unveiling with a tweet declaring, "From the cosmic womb of creation awakens the most FEROCIOUS SUPERHERO of the universe! Introducing #BhoomiShetty as MAHA ❤️🔥 #Mahakali 🔱".
While already a familiar face in Telugu television, Mahakali marks Bhoomi Shetty’s second major Telugu film venture. She previously impressed audiences in the Vijay Devarakonda-starrer Kingdom, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri.
Mahakali will seamlessly integrate into the PVCU alongside Prasanth Varma’s previous hits, HanuMan and the upcoming Jai Hanuman. Varma, who directed the successful inaugural superhero film HanuMan, has penned the compelling script for Mahakali. The film is proudly produced by RKD Studios.
Looking ahead, Prasanth Varma is also slated to direct Rishab Shetty in Jai Hanuman. Rishab is currently riding high on the immense success of Kantara: Chapter 1, a production by Hombale Films, making his collaboration with Varma a highly anticipated event.
