The producer of Varanasi praised S.S. Rajamouli, Priyanka Chopra, and Mahesh Babu for their dedication to the film. He called Mahesh Babu a 'producer’s actor,' lauding his patience and commitment, and applauded Rajamouli for remaining a humble yet deeply devoted filmmaker despite his massive successes with Baahubali and RRR.
The producer also thanked Priyanka for accepting the film and giving it her all.
Meanwhile, Prithviraj Sukumaran, who plays the negative role of Kumbha in Varanasi, arrived at the event with his wife Supriya Menon.
Talking about the film, producer Karthikeya, son of Rajamouli, "I thought I would start by making small films, slowly grow as a producer, and eventually make a film with a star. I imagined it might take me 15 years. But things have turned out differently, and today my first speech itself is on a global platform. I feel small because everyone involved in this film is a legend, and I feel blessed. I don’t know if I’m worthy of this, but thank you, everyone."
Karthikeya was also getting emotional at the event and said,"This is a small and humble step to take Indian cinema global and to bring the global audience closer to India. To be doing this in our own city makes me very happy. I’m very thankful to KL Narayan garu for waiting 15 years and standing with us as a co-producer on this film."
