"I think during the climax shoot of RRR, he just randomly opened up about doing a film with Sukumar garu and started talking about the opening sequence of the film. For almost 5 minutes, my mind was blown. Ever since he mentioned it, I've been waiting for the film to be announced. Imagining it as a blockbuster already, it will become one of the iconic sequences. I hope I won't leak much about it, brother," said Karthikeya.

Obviously, I will not reveal it...Sukumar will have a heart attack. But, that would be the most hard-hitting scenes. Audiences will quiver in their seats when they watch that scene," Rajamouli had revealed earlier.
