Prithviraj Sukumaran On His Role

Prithviraj Sukumaran had already discussed his experience portraying Kumbha in Varanasi movie. He clarified that the part forced him into a new realm of acting. The actor claims that during performances, actors typically rely on body language in addition to facial expressions. He disclosed that this position drastically altered the procedure.

Speaking with Collider, Prithviraj Sukumaran said, "Always aware that your body is available as a communication tool. Then you put in a situation where nothing from the neck down is visible, and you realise that whatever you do physically will not be seen."

Prithviraj Sukumaran added, "Everything you have at your disposal is concentrated on your face. What you need to convey must come through your face and eyes." Speaking about the part, he added that he found the character much more fascinating because of its intricacy. "Definitely one of the most complex characters Rajamouli sir has conceived."
