Mahesh Babu’s Rajamouli Film Will Be In 2 Parts
The two-part trend for blockbuster films was started by Rajamouli who split his Baahubali in two halves and is still reaping the benefits. Prior to that Ram Gopal Varma split his gangster drama Raktacharitra(which introduced Tamil superstar Suriya into the Hindi belt) into two.But that didn’t work. More recently the very talented director Hemanth Rao teamed up with Rakshit Shetty for the stunning Sapta Saagaradaache Ello – Side A which hit theatres a few months ago.He is now back with the sequel Sapta Saagaradaache Ello – Side B which opens this week.

When Sridevi Said No To Rajamouli, Rajamouli Regretted Lashing Out
Not many know that Sridevi was supposed to play the role that Ramya Krishnan eventually did in Baahubali.In an unguarded moment Rajamouli revealed in an interview that Sridevi had too many demands, financial and otherwise, and was therefore not part of Baahubali. Reacting strongly to this Sridevi had said to me, “First of all , I can’t believe he(Rajamouli) would talk like that.Secondly I am not the kind to make any kind of demands.Whatever happened with Baahubali is in the past.Why are we talking about it now? There are so many roles that I’ve turned down in the past.I thin | Click Here...
Scoop: Rajamouli’s RRR Sequel On The Anvil
Like Rajamouli’s Baahubali , RRR too will have a follow-up. The difference between the two is this: while the Baahubali sequel was planned and shot simultaneously with the first part, the sequel to RRR has been planned post the thundering global success off RRR.

The RRR Oscar Controversy, “Makes No Sense”
Should Rajamouli’s RRR have gone as India’s entry at the Oscars? The sprawling mass of the film’s and Rajamouli’s fans seem to think so. However T P. Aggarwal, President of the Film Federation of India which selects India’s Oscar entry each year, thinks the controversy is completely uncalled for. “Have those questioning the jury’s decision seen the film we’ve chosen? No? Then how do they know that another film was more deserving.With due respects to all the other films in the race including Rajamouli’s RRR, there was no debate on which film should | Click Here...
Revealed: Rajamouli’s Next With Mahesh Babu To Be Shot In Several European Countries

RRR For The Oscars?
Suddenly, there is a lot of media focus on S S Rajamouli’s RRR going to the Oscars in 2023. Admittedly there is a huge buzz in the West surrounding RRR. No Indian film in recent times has created such a strong impact outside India. However sources in the know say these stories of RRR being Oscar-bound are not only premature but also baseless. “The committee to decide which film will go to the Oscars in 2023 has not even been formed as yet. Where is the question of RRR or any film being up for reckoning at this stage when we don’t even know the qualit | Click Here...
Rift Between Rajamouli & NTR Jr Widens
Rajamouli’s RRR has created a wide rift between its two lead players Ram Charan and NTR Jr. It was felt, and not without reason, that Ram Charan had more footage and an extra-punchfilled role while NTR Jr was projected as Hanuman to Ram Charan’s Lord Rama act. All three dramatis personae in this three-pronged drama have denied any differences. But insiders say the tension among the trio is brewing. And Rajamouli isn’t making it any better. Recently at an event to monumentalize Ram Charan’s career , Rajamouli showered praise on the actor,proclaiming Ra | Click Here...
Here’s Why Ajay Devgn Is No.1 Star Of 2021, Bhansali, Rajamouli & Amit Sharma Tell Us Why

Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’ Title Confusion
For months now we have all been wondering what RRR, the title of S S Rajamouli’s film meant. It turns out that the maverick director was trying to get the rights of the title Raghupati Raghav Rajaram. Having failed to acquire it the RRR acronym was given another interpretation altogether. The RRR now stands for Rise Roar Revolt in Hindi (and never mind if those words are in the English language). In Telugu, it is Roudram Ranam Rudhiram and in Tamil it is Irattam Ranam Relattiram. All the conflicting multi-lingual interpretations to the RRR acronym could be a problem. Raj | Click Here...
