Priyanka Chopra talks in Telugu, gets Mahesh Babu fans excited
Priyanka took to the stage and addressed Mahesh’s fans while asking, “Thagala petteddama? (Should we set fire?)” She then spoke about her return to Indian cinema and said, “As I’m sure you’ve already noticed, I’m so happy to be back making this movie in my beloved India. The best and only way to do Telugu cinema is to do it with the greats.”
Priyanka also praised the film’s cast and crew, telling music composer MM Keeravani that his version of Desi Girl for the film is her favourite. She also mentioned how co-star Prithviraj Sukumaran is ‘really scary’ in the movie, but is the complete opposite in real life. The actor also called Rajamouli a ‘visionary’ who took Indian cinema to the world.
Addressing Mahesh’s fans again, Priyanka said, “What do you call him? Bob. Oh no no, lion? There are many other names, but I know him as MB, as the legendary, incredible Mahesh Babu. (fans start chanting Babu) You and your beautiful family, Namrata, Sitara have made me feel like Hyderabad is my home.”
