Social media is buzzing with a purported story leak of SS Rajamouli's Varanasi, with Reddit discussions suggesting that the film revolves around Ravana's mystical jewel necklace. According to this theory, the necklace gave Ravana the power to appear as a ten-headed Rakshasa during battles and deceive his enemies. After Rama killed Ravana, the necklace supposedly dismantled, with its individual jewels travelling to different parts of the world over centuries.

The theory further claims that Kumbha wants to reunite these jewels and appoints Mahesh Babu to source them. However, Mahesh apparently understands the consequences of bringing the necklace back and travels to Treta Yuga with Hanuman's help to burn it down permanently. While this sounds like an elaborate mythological adventure, the theory appears to be pure fan fiction rather than a credible story leak.

Rajamouli's announcement glimpse has already offered several intriguing clues about the film's actual premise. The backstory involving River Ganga, Varanasi and the Gupta period appears to be central to the larger quest. More importantly, the glimpse shows Kumbha travelling alongside Mahesh into Treta Yuga, apparently on Hanuman's tail. If Kumbha genuinely wants the necklace, why would he accompany Mahesh on a mission to destroy the very object he is pursuing?

There are bigger logical gaps too. If Kumbha is indeed Kumbhakarna, as the theory suggests, why would he willingly allow Mahesh to interfere with something connected to Ravana's power? Wouldn't his priority be to prevent such an outcome, even at the cost of his own life? The reported theory also fails to explain why the characters would eventually travel back to Varanasi, as indicated by the ending portion of Rajamouli's announcement glimpse.

Hanuman's involvement makes the Reddit version even harder to believe. The glimpse clearly establishes him as a crucial part of the time-travel journey, but why would he help Kumbha and Mahesh travel to Treta Yuga if he knew their intentions involved recovering Ravana's powerful necklace? The entire chain of events suggested by the alleged leak raises more questions than it answers.

Rajamouli is known for building interconnected narratives where mythology, history and fictional adventure come together with a carefully constructed purpose. Reducing Varanasi to a treasure hunt for Ravana's scattered jewellery, followed by Mahesh travelling back to destroy it, doesn't appear to explain the intricate clues presented in the announcement.

Unless stronger evidence emerges, this Reddit theory looks like an imaginative fan-created storyline being circulated as a leak rather than the actual plot of Varanasi. Prithviraj Sukumaran and Priyanka Chopra-Jonas are playing prominent roles in this epic movie scheduled for April 2027 release.
