Prithviraj Sukumaran gave a rocking speech on the Globetrotter event in Hyderabad within the presence of S S Rajamouli, M M Keeravani, Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra and others.
Globetrotter event: Prithviraj Sukumaran reveals ‘friend’ Prabhas hyped him about ‘Famous S S Rajamouli narration’: “First 5 minutes of the film will BLOW you away…superstar Mahesh Babu TRULY deserves this film…Priyanka Chopra’s Jhilmil amongst GREATEST Indian performances ever”
Prithviraj began by thanking M M Keeravani for his performance on a theme based on the previous’s character. He told the latter, “I’ve grown up listening to all of the timeless classics you will have made in Malayalam cinema. It’s an absolute honour to finally associate with you on a movie.”
Prithviraj Sukumaran then said, “A few years ago, I used to be within the midst of my directorial enterprise when one advantageous day, I got a message from Rajamouli sir. It said, ‘Hi Prithvi. That is S S Rajamouli. The character of the antagonist in my next film has come out exceedingly well. It’s considered one of the best characters I even have conceived. Would you be involved in doing it?’. These were his exact words. I still have that message.”
He added, “I replied with a nonchalant ‘Sure sir’ but I’m sure he caught the joy in me. Just a few days later, I used to be in his office with essentially the most beautiful German Shepherd for company! The famous S S Rajamouli narration that my friend Prabhas told me a lot about, began. 5 minutes into the narration, I used to be blown away. For the remainder of the three hours, I heard it not as an actor listening to a narration pitch but more like a bit of boy who has laid his hands on the subsequent edition of his favourite comic book! The dimensions, the vision, the ambition – every part was India’s best contemporary filmmaking, pushing his own limits to never-before-seen territory.”
He continued, “But what truly took my breath away was the audacity of the imagination. How does someone think like this? Where do you discover the inspiration to picturize something like this?”
Prithviraj Sukumaran exulted, “Remember what I told you in regards to the first 5 minutes? You possibly can get back to it the day this film releases!”
He further praised S S Rajamouli, “He trusted me with probably the most complex, essentially the most emotionally and physically character that he has ever taught of. Thanks, sir, for the trust, belief and absolutely torturous process! I wouldn’t have it every other way.”
Prithviraj Sukumaran then spoke of Mahesh Babu, “If my memory serves me right, the primary Telugu film I ever saw in a theatre was Pokiri (2006). Since then, to now, the best way you will have owned your heritage and the best way you will have built your personal legacy is really inspiring. For the superstar you might be, you truly deserve this film and this film truly deserves you!”
Next, he praised Priyanka Chopra, “I even have all the time been a giant, big fan of PC. Jhilmil from Barfi (2012) is on my list of the best performances by an Indian actor ever! It’s a privilege to see you transform into Mandakini from such close quarters.”
Prithviraj Sukumaran signed off by saying, “That is S S Rajamouli once more taking Indian cinema to the world. This time greater, hopefully higher and definitely more audacious than ever before.”
