VARANASI is the name of an ancient city, the first city, and which is so fondly revered by millions of people. I know it carries a weight. I know it carries a religious significance. And of course that makes me even more responsible in how I use it.
The moment that got me goosebumps and tears in my eyes was when the ‘Varanasi’ title was coming onto the screen, So I thought, yes we are right in naming the film #VARANASI
