Prithviraj Sukumaran Delivers Electrifying Speech at Globetrotter Event, Hyderabad
Prithviraj Sukumaran gave a sensational speech at the Globetrotter event in Hyderabad, amid a star-studded audience including S S Rajamouli, M M Keeravani, Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and others.
**Highlights from Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Speech**
Prithviraj began by expressing his gratitude to M M Keeravani, who performed a theme inspired by Prithviraj’s character. He said, “I’ve grown up listening to all the timeless classics you have made in Malayalam cinema. It’s an absolute honour to finally associate with you on a film.”
Recalling a memorable moment, Prithviraj shared, “A couple of years ago, I was in the midst of my directorial venture when one fine day, I got a message from Rajamouli sir. It read, ‘Hi Prithvi. This is S S Rajamouli. The character of the antagonist in my next film has come out exceedingly well. It is one of the finest characters I have conceived. Would you be interested in doing it?’ These were his exact words. I still have that message.”
He humorously added, “I replied with a nonchalant ‘Sure sir’ but I’m sure he caught the excitement in me. A few days later, I was in his office with the most beautiful German Shepherd for company! The famous S S Rajamouli narration that my friend Prabhas told me so much about, started. Five minutes into the narration, I was blown away. For the rest of the three hours, I listened not as an actor hearing a pitch, but as a little boy who had laid his hands on the next edition of his favourite comic book! The scale, vision, ambition—everything was India’s greatest contemporary filmmaking, pushing his own limits to never-before-seen territory.”
Prithviraj continued, “But what truly took my breath away was the audacity of the imagination. How does someone think like this? Where do you find the inspiration to picturize something like this?”
He excitedly emphasized, “Remember what I told you about the first five minutes? You can get back to it the day this film releases!”
Prithviraj praised S S Rajamouli’s trust: “He trusted me with one of the most complex, emotionally and physically challenging characters he has ever created. Thank you, sir, for the trust, belief, and absolutely torturous process! I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
**Tribute to Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra**
Shifting focus, Prithviraj spoke about Mahesh Babu: “If my memory serves me right, the first Telugu film I ever saw in a theatre was Pokiri (2006). Since then to now, the way you have owned your heritage and built your own legacy is truly inspiring. For the superstar you are, you truly deserve this film, and this film truly deserves you!”
He then warmly praised Priyanka Chopra: “I’ve always been a big, big fan of PC. Jhilmil from Barfi (2012) is on my list of the greatest performances by an Indian actor ever! It’s a privilege to see you transform into Mandakini from such close quarters.”
**Taking Indian Cinema Global**
Signing off, Prithviraj said, “This is S S Rajamouli once again taking Indian cinema to the world. This time bigger, hopefully better, and definitely more audacious than ever before.”
