The title reveal event of the much-anticipated film Varanasi at Ramoji Film City unexpectedly turned tense when a major technical glitch disrupted the trailer presentation. As the LED screen froze at the exact moment of the live telecast, director S. S. Rajamouli appeared visibly frustrated. With millions watching online and the event team preparing for days, the timing of the malfunction could not have been worse. Industry sources say Rajamouli was already dealing with stress from a drone camera that was flown without permission the previous night, which prevented the crew from carrying out crucial test checks. When the LED screen malfunctioned, the situation added to his pressure.
The incident gained more attention when writer Vijayendra Prasad spoke about Lord Hanuman guiding Rajamouli through the making of Varanasi. Responding instantly and emotionally, Rajamouli questioned why such technical issues were occurring if divine guidance was present. He stated that he personally does not believe in God, though his wife shares a strong spiritual bond with Lord Hanuman. Viewers noted that his comments came from a moment of irritation, not disrespect. Supporters argue that even spiritually inclined people express frustration when faced with unexpected setbacks, especially during high-pressure events.
Fans and film lovers point out that Rajamouli has always shown immense respect toward mythological themes in his movies. Films like Baahubali and RRR include powerful depictions of Indian mythology, and Varanasi itself is built around divine elements involving Shiva, Rama, Hanuman, Nandi, and other celestial references. Many believe his brief reaction was an emotional response to the stressful situation rather than a comment on spiritual beliefs. Movie enthusiasts now suggest that a short clarification video from Rajamouli could bring closure and prevent the situation from being amplified further. As anticipation for Varanasi continues to grow, most agree the moment should be seen as a minor setback rather than a controversy.
