Along with the video, SS Rajamouli noted that he always wanted to do a road trip to central Tamil Nadu, further crediting his daughter for making it happen in the last week of June this year.


Adding that he could only visit a few temples, SS Rajamouli wrote, "Exquisite architecture, amazing engineering and deep spiritual thought of pandyas, chozhas Nayakkars and many other rulers was truly mesmerizing. Whether the fine dining in Mantrakoodam, Kumbakonam or a kaka hotel murugan mess in Rameshwaram the food has been marvelous everywhere… I must have put on 2-3 kilos in a week. After 3 months of foreign travel and food, this home land tour has been refreshing and uplifting."
