She also gave her InstaFam a glimpse into what all went on behind the event.
PeeCee dropped a clip on Instagram in which she was seen practising her Telugu lines for the Varanasi event. She also showed how she worked on her speech to address the audience.
While getting ready for the event, Priyanka admitted to being nervous, saying, “It’s more difficult to speak Telugu in front of a live audience than in a movie".
We could also see PeeCee rehearsing her entry for the event, practicing her lines with the RRR maker, and having a discussion with co-star Mahesh Babu.
Addressing the huge gathering, the Barfi actress said, “I am so happy to be back, making this movie in my beloved India.” She captioned the video, "Varanasi launches from my eyes."
About Varanasi
The film stars Mahesh Babu in the lead as Rudhra, Priyanka Chopra as Mandakini, and Prithviraj as the antagonist Kumbha.
The teaser showed Mahesh in a fiery avatar, riding a bull with a trishul in hand through the streets of Varanasi. While the trailer revealed little about the film, it seems to have elements of time travel. Filmmaker SS Rajamouli said that Mahesh would also play Lord Rama in one scene, which required 60 days to shoot.
While the grand Globe Trotter event revealed the trailer, title, and Mahesh Babu's first look from the film, Rajamouli had already shared Priyanka's look as Mandakini on Instagram a few days earlier. The poster featured Priyanka in a yellow saree, fighting with a gun in her hand, impressing viewers and creating a frenzy among fans.
