Sai Pallavi says Virataparvam is a new and honest attempt at filmmaking: ‘Sometimes, if we can’t get the encouragement…’

The pre-release event for Virataparvam was held in Warangal, Telangana on Sunday night.

Sai Pallavi thanked the film’s team in her speech. She said, “I am happy to be here for the pre-release event of our movie, and it always makes me feel like I’m coming back to my home. We can’t live without art and vice versa. Virataparvam is an honest attempt and a story of this land. Please do watch this film on June 17 in the theatres. Sometimes, if we can’t get the encouragement for new attempts like Virataparvam, we can’t get the needed strength to make new attempts in filmmaking once again. So, please continue to shower your love as you always do for new content. I am very proud to be a part of this film, and thanks to Venu Udugula for the opportunity. Thanks to everyone who came here to bless us.”
