Filmmaker SS Rajamoulirecently announced at an event that he doesn't believe in God. He was at the GlobeTrotter event in Hyderabad to unveil the teaser of his next film, Varanasi.

<nh-chunk-delimit /><p style = "margin-top: 0px;"> But due to technical glitches, he apologised to the attendees for not being able to play the teaser. The director got emotional and shared that he felt let down by Lord Hanuman. His comments have sparked a widespread debate online as some of his most popular works likeRRR and Baahubaliare heavily inspired by Hindu mythology.</p><span>

Before playing it, he said, &quot;Of course, we want to see the trailer once again. I am also waiting for it. Father, if your Hanuman saved me once, let&apos;s see if my wife&apos;s Hanuman does it again.&quot; </p><span>

</span><p>Credit&quot; X/ssarath</p><p>The comments didn&apos;t go down well with netizens as many wondered what was the need for bringing Hanuman ji during a technical failure. He should&apos;ve questioned the incompetence of his team, one user said. &quot;Rajamouli should have shown his frustration on his Technical Team, Event Organisers, instead of passing sarcastic comments on the religious beliefs of his father and wife. Especially when you are aiming to earn on the same beliefs. Behaved like an Average Arrogant SM Troll,&quot; wrote a user. </p><span>
