The rumours are true. Senior actor Prakash Raj is very much part of Varanasi, starring Superstar Mahesh Babu as a globe-trotter and time-trotter.
In a social media post today, he has expressed immense satisfaction after completing a key shooting schedule for SS Rajamouli's epic adventure film. In a heartfelt social media post, the National Award-winning actor described the experience as "a joy to the hungry actor within me," thanking director SS Rajamouli and co-stars Mahesh Babu, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas for an "exhilarating" collaboration. The tweet highlights the intense and rewarding nature of working on Rajamouli's ambitious project, which marks the filmmaker's first collaboration with superstar Mahesh Babu.
