The official Instagram handle of the film shared the clip, highlighting the strong response from the audience. The post read: “1000’s of miles away from India, 100’s of French audience at an #RRRMovie screening and the applause for the #Varanasi glimpse was surreal.”
Directed by S.S. Rajamouli, who co-wrote the film with V. Vijayendra Prasad and S.S. Kanchi, Varanasi features Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran in lead roles. The film also marks Priyanka Chopra’s return to Indian cinema after a long hiatus.
