SS Rajamouli has finally unveiled the much-awaited teaser of his upcoming magnum opus, Globetrotter. The film, starring Mahesh Babu as Rudhra, is officially titled Varanasi. It was announced at a grand event in Hyderabad, attended by fans from across the globe. However, repeated technical issues stopped the footage from playing properly. This made the RRR director angry, and he recalled how his dad had mentioned that Lord Hanuman was with the team, blessing them. His comment on the almighty has drawn flak from netizens.
Rajamouli said, “Naku devudu mida pedda nammakam ledu andi. Nannagaru vachi indaka Hanuma…venakala untadu, nadipistadu ani chepparu. Idi aina ventane kopam vachindi. Idena nadipinchedi ani? (I don’t believe in God. My father mentioned that Hanuman will guide me. I got angry as soon as this (glitches) happened. Is this how He’s helping me?)”
