Mahakali (also written Mahakāli or Maha Kali) is an upcoming Telugu mythological superhero film directed by Puja Aparna Kolluru from a story by Prasanth Varma, and produced by Riwaz Ramesh Duggal under RKD Studios. It is the next film in the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe after HanuMan, and Filmibeat describes it as the universe’s first film with a female superhero, played by Bhoomi Shetty. The makers have announced a theatrical release on 8 January 2027.
Mahakali release date
The release date was announced with the first glimpse, Shukracharya’s War Cry, on 24 August 2026: the film will open worldwide on 8 January 2027, as IndiaGlitz, ETV Bharat and The Times of India reported. That places it in the Sankranti 2027 season. The release calendar on this site updates if the date changes.
What the film is about
The makers have not released a synopsis. The nearly three-minute glimpse sets up a war between Dharma and Adharma, with the Asura forces led by their guru Shukracharya heading towards a confrontation that could decide the fate of a world, and ends on the line “The End Begins”.
