However, after HanuMan’s teaser was unveiled, Prasanth Varma met SS Rajamouli who gave him a couple of advice. He quipped, “He praised the teaser, remarking that it looked ‘pretty good’. He emphasized that I had been given an opportunity to achieve something that had taken him 20 years. He urged me to handle it responsibly and not blow it. My response to him was that I might actually blow it. I then scheduled an appointment with him and met him.”
“I asked him about VFX procedures and sought recommendations for VFX companies. He mentioned there was no point in doing that since the people he worked with might have joined other firms,” he added further.
