SS Rajamouli marked Prithviraj Sukumaran's 44th birthday with a nod to Kumbha, the role Prithviraj plays in his film Varanasi. The film's official handle also released new behind-the-scenes stills of the two of them together.

What Rajamouli wrote
"Happy birthday Prithvi. Didn't want to awaken the Kumbha within you today. The Kumbha who is destined to make his mark on the world," Rajamouli posted on X.
Prithviraj replied soon after: "Thank you Sir! Cannot wait for the world to witness your madness!"

The new stills
The official Varanasi handle posted two photos, calling him "The most complex mind in #VARANASI" and wishing "Happy Birthday Kumbha!!!". The pictures show Prithviraj and Rajamouli on set and on location, one of them going over the script. They are working stills, not a look at Kumbha in costume.

A wish from Salaar too
The Salaar team also wished him as Vardharaja Mannaar, his character in Prabhas's Salaar, calling him "the KING" and saying it looked forward to "seeing you back in action and returning to the battlefield soon", with the hashtag #Salaar2.
