The title-launch event of Varanasi turned out to be a massive success, drawing not just local crowds but even members of the international media. The first glimpse of Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus set the internet on fire.
With both the glimpse and the event receiving an overwhelming response, SSR took to social media to thank Mahesh Babu’s fans.
He wrote, “My sincere thanks to all the Mahesh fans who travelled such long distances for the #Varanasi Globetrotter event and walked close to 3 km in the cold… and still, even with the glitches on our side, your patience never wavered. I have to say this – you’re as disciplined as your idol. And a big thank you to every Telugu Cinema audience member who stood by us on the ground.”
The film features Priyanka Chopra, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and several other prominent names, adding to its international appeal. Produced on a massive scale by Sri Durga Arts and Showing Business, the project also boasts music by MM Keeravaani.
