Varalaxmi Sarathkumar Speaks
Addressing the gathering, Varalaxmi said,
“Greetings to everyone. My heartfelt thanks to Swarna Dutt garu, Nandini garu, Simran garu, and everyone who graced this event. Special thanks to Balakrishna garu, Nani garu, Adivi Sesh garu, Samantha garu, Nayanthara garu, Gopi garu, and Bunny Vas garu for their encouragement.
I’m deeply grateful to all the technicians and actors who worked on this film. Thaman S has given outstanding music. Without our cast, this film wouldn’t have reached this level. Prakash Raj and Priyamani elevated my vision and breathed life into their characters. Every role in this film has strong meaning and purpose.
I thank the ETV Win team for being the backbone of this project. Pooja handled the production with great control and confidence. I truly believe this film will make my father proud. I’ll always cherish the support of Radhika garu and my entire family.
My husband Nick has been my biggest strength throughout this journey—happy wedding anniversary to him. I also want to thank Praveen, who inspired me to step into direction. Respecting women is our responsibility, and Saraswathi delivers this message while being engaging and entertaining. Telugu audiences have always showered me with immense love, and this film is my heartfelt return to them. I kindly request viewers not to reveal twists after watching. Please do watch Saraswathi in theatres on March 6.”

“Seeing so much women power here makes me extremely happy. Varalaxmi’s success is entirely her own. A story like Saraswathi must be told. Respecting women is everyone’s duty.
Pooja has excellent production skills. I’ve seen a few clips from the film—it’s a very interesting subject with strong technical values. Thaman’s music and the camera work stand out. Ultimately, audiences are the real judges, and I’m confident they’ll give this film a great verdict.”
