The actor recently compiled a new video featuring various actors from the film fraternity, including Krishna Kulasekaran, Sathish Muthukrishnan, Vidyullekha Raman, Sundeep Kishan, Priyadarshi Pulikonda, Regina Cassandra, Yogi Babu and Aishwarya Rajesh. 

Compiled and presented by Varalaxmi, the video aims to create awareness about the right way to wear a mask by featuring all the wrong ways in which people are often seen wearing their masks. Sharing the video with fans on June 7, Varalaxmi extended her gratitude to the actors who contributed to the video. “Thank you for being so awesom n cool..thank u all for doing it as soon as I asked u..!!

Many celebrities have shared the video on Twitter. “Here's something to make you laugh. But, don't stop with just that. Pay attention to the message of the video and wear your masks right! Happy viewing!! Thank u @varusarath5for initiating this,” Aishwarya Rajesh, who was part of the video, wrote while sharing the video with fans on social media on Monday. 

In another awareness video posted by Varalakshmi, the actor addresses vaccine hesitancy by quashing rumours about vaccines.
