Director's statement
The film explores 'Indian culture and stories'
Speaking to Polygon last year, Rajamouli shed light on the project. He said, "I firmly believe that if you want to go global, you have to be local. That's a very simple formula I believe in, and I applied it to Varanasi. It is more about Indian culture and stories, but the emotions are universal." "I hope that everyone will receive the film just like how they received RRR."
