Prithviraj Sukumaran speech on Globetrotter event makes headlines

At the event, Prithviraj Sukumaran said, "This humongous crowd gathered here today to celebrate a piece of cinema that we all truly believe will eventually become our collective pride. It’s truly special to be part of this grand celebration. I think it was a couple of years ago when I was in fact, the mid of my own directorial when I got a message from Rajamouli Sir, ‘Hi Prithvi, this is SS Rajamouli. The character of the antagonist in my next film has come out exceedingly well and one of the finest characters I have conceived. Would you be interested in doing this.'”“Five minutes into the narration I was blown away and for the rest of the three hours, I listen to it, not as an actor, listening to a narration pitch, but more like a little boy whose got his hands on the next edition of his favourite comic book. The scale, the vision, the ambition – everything was India’s greatest contemporary mainstream filmmaker pushing his own limits to never before territory, but truly took my breath away was audacity of the imagination," he further expressed. The actor then added, “It must be on the bucket list of pretty much every actor out there to one day feature in Rajamouli film, but little did I know that he was going to trust me with one of the most complex, the most emotionally and physically challenging characters that he’s ever thought of. Thank you sir for the trust, for the belief and for the absolutely torturous shooting process, I wouldn’t have it any other way.”ALSO READ: Globetrotter Event: Priyanka Chopra On Her Way To Ramoji Film City, Actress To Keep Fans Posted On 'Background Stuff'

Unfiltered Prithviraj Sukumaran...

For Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, Prithviraj mentioned, "If my memory serves me, right? The first Telugu film I ever saw in a theatre was 'Pokiri'. From then to now, the way you want your heritage and the way to build your own legacy is truly all inspiring for the superstar that you are. You truly deserve this film and this film truly deserves you PC, (I am) always a big, big fan. Like I have told you Jhilmil from 'Barfi' is on my list of the greatest performances is by an Indian actor ever. And it's a privilege to watch your transformer in a Mandakini from such closed quarters." The film is set to release in theatres on Sankranti 2027.
