# Priyanka Chopra's Mind-Blowing Dive into Ancient Indian Secrets: Flying Spears and Vedic Tech! Imagine ancient India wielding **energy spears** and flying objects straight out of the Vedas—sounds like sci-fi, right? Global star **Priyanka Chopra** is uncovering these hidden gems from Indian history and mythology, blending them into her epic new film *Varanasi*.[1][2] Priyanka Chopra, fresh from Hollywood hits, is back in Indian cinema with SS Rajamouli's massive ₹1,200-1,300 crore Telugu blockbuster *Varanasi*, starring alongside Mahesh Babu as the Shiva devotee Rudhra and Prithviraj Sukumaran as the antagonist Kumbha.[1][3] She plays the enigmatic thief Mandakini, depicted in a striking poster balancing on a cliff in a mustard sari with a pistol.[2] The plot kicks off with an asteroid strike in Varanasi, sparking a time-travel adventure across Africa, Antarctica, and beyond to avert global doom, infused with Hindu mythology like a Ramayana-inspired scene where Mahesh Babu embodies Lord Rama after six months of intense training.[1][3][4] Priyanka's fascination shines through her recent Joe Rogan podcast chat, where she delved into India's "stolen history"—think Kohinoor diamond mysteries and advanced ancient tech like **flying objects** and **energy spears** from Vedic texts and epics.[6] "As long as we watch the film, we will travel through time... This is a great adventure," she gushed about *Varanasi*, predicting it'll redefine Indian cinema history.[1] The globe-trotting shoot just got wilder: Priyanka casually confirmed Antarctica filming in a tweet to Mahesh Babu—"See you soon in Antarctica"—making *Varanasi* the **first Indian film** shot there, at the Ross Ice Shelf, capturing icy landscapes in IMAX for a lost civilization buried under ice post-asteroid.[3][4][5] Only four other films (like *The Thing*) have braved the continent before![5] This isn't just a movie; it's Priyanka bridging ancient myths with cutting-edge VFX, time travel, and Rajamouli's signature high-octane action that propelled *RRR* to Oscars.[2] Set for April 7, 2027 release in standard and IMAX, it's poised to be India's most ambitious spectacle yet.[1]
