Throwback: When SS Rajamouli, Ranbir Kapoor & Nagarjuna bonded over a traditional South Indian banana leaf feast

Ayan Mukerji's film "Brahmastra," which debuted on September 9, 2022, featured SS Rajamouli as one of its presenters. Ranbir Kapoor was accompanied by Rajamouli and the movie's cameo star Nagarjuna during the Southern Indian premiere.

The trio enjoyed a delicious South Indian meal that was traditionally served to them on a banana leaf while they were in Chennai for the film's promotion.

Apparently, Ranbir especially enjoyed the food."I am so happy to share our vision of 'Brahmastra' with you," Ranbir said at a press conference organized by the 'Brahmastra' team. "All of you are from a state that is so rich in culture, in music, and in performing arts.

It is my privilege to be here.""Brahmastra started for Ayan and me in 2013," Ranbir continued. "We were doing a film called 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani,' and during one of the schedules in Manali, he came and told me that he had this idea of two friends (this was before 'RRR'), one of whom had the power of fire and the other the power of water. Of course, the film didn't turn out the way he thought at that time, and it has turned out the way you guys are seeing it right now.

""I have seen this boy, Ayan Mukherji, from the age of 29. He has become a young man now. He has spent 10 years of his life on this film. Every day, he has been working and dreaming of this vision. Just to be a little soldier in his battle to achieve his vision has been such an honor and such a privilege for all of us involved with Brahmastra." "I had the honor of working with legends such as Amitabh Bachchan sir and Nagarjuna sir in this film," Ranbir said in reference to his fellow actors."Never in my wildest dreams have I thought that I would have a poster with S.S. Rajamouli's name and my face on it," the actor continued, thanking Rajamouli, who was presenting the movie. "That is such a big privilege. Thank you so much for this." Speaking of his wife and co-star in the movie, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir said he had the good fortune to marry her at last and that she is among the best actors he has ever worked with.
