Rajamouli’s Strict Conditions On Varanasi Sets Revealed

Rajamouli is known as one of the most dedicated filmmakers in Indian cinema. Over the years, he has impressed audiences with his unique storytelling and grand visuals. After the success of films like Magadheera, Baahubali, and RRR, his work gained worldwide attention. Now, he is busy working on his next big project, Varanasi, which is expected to be another large-scale film.

Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran, who is playing an important negative role in the movie, recently shared his experience of working with Rajamouli. He spoke about the director's discipline, hard work, and passion during the film's production.

According to Prithviraj, Rajamouli's commitment is unlike anything he has seen in his long career. He revealed that if the actors are asked to reach the shooting location by 7 a.m., the entire set is already prepared before they arrive. Everything is perfectly arranged, and the technical team is ready to begin filming without any delay.

Prithviraj said that Rajamouli reaches the set much earlier than everyone else. Before the actors come in, he spends several hours rehearsing every scene with his team. The director carefully plans every camera movement, actor position, and technical detail. This level of preparation helps the shooting move smoothly and saves valuable time.

The actor also recalled a difficult sequence from Varanasi. While explaining the scene, Rajamouli admitted that it was a challenging one and even wondered how it could be filmed. However, once the cameras started rolling, the director executed the sequence with confidence and creativity. The final result impressed everyone on the set.

Prithviraj praised Rajamouli for maintaining the same excitement and dedication even after spending nearly three decades in the film industry. He said the director works with the energy of someone making his very first movie. That passion, according to him, inspires every member of the team to give their best.

Prithviraj described working with Rajamouli as a memorable experience and said every day on the set is a learning opportunity. In Varanasi, he is expected to play the powerful character named Kumbha, who is believed to be the film's main antagonist.

The film stars Mahesh Babu in the lead role and also features Priyanka Chopra. Varanasi is scheduled for a grand theatrical release on April 7 next year and has already created huge excitement among movie lovers across the country.
