If we ask Telugu people to name the best modern construction in Hyderabad city, 9 out of 10 people will say, ‘Cyber Towers’. Years have passed, governments have changed and the city has been with uncountable skyscrapers over the years, but Cyber Towers still stands tall as one of the iconic monuments of Hyderabad. And, the credit must be given to then united AP CM Chandrababu Naidu, and his tireless efforts and uncompromising nature. If he strives so much for setting up one iconic building in the then capital, just imagine how much efforts he must be putting in to build a word class capital for the truncated AP.
Instead of embracing his uncompromising nature, some people started making defamatory speculations ever since he had asked the renowned London-based architectural firm, Norman Fosters, to better the submitted designs. Taking potshots at his decision of including Rajamouli in the design team, these people have started questioning the qualification of the ‘Baahubali’ director and the real intention of the CM in bringing him on board.
The AP CM feels that the new capital city needs a design that gets absorbed into the hearts and souls of people of Andhra, a concept that reflects the hopes, wishes, future and culture of Telugu people. At this current juncture, he couldn’t find a better person than Rajamouli.
As we all know Rajamouli is the master of transforming a collection of thoughts and ideas into a great theme and conceptualize it such a way that never before and never after. He can look into the whole imaginary world with his extraordinary lens, he is someone who doesn’t leave a single detail in order to achieve perfection. He is exactly like Chandrababu Naidu who strives, struggles, dedicates his heart and soul to convert a vision into reality, which makes everyone speechless and spell bound when it gets completed.
Not every IAS officer or a minister or a CM is a good story teller. Not everyone can narrate well on what exactly they want. Sure they might have tons of ideas and proposals but they may not be able to sum it up as one ultimate concept. Chandrababu needed a person who can mould the ideas into a couple of frames or slides and explain them to the foreign architects who don’t know much of our legacy, and who are far from the thought of connecting to our nativity.
And that’s the reason Naidu brought Rajamouli into the picture. He wants the Baahubali director to act like a bridge between the authorities of AP and the Foreign architects to fill the gaps of communication and also by adding value with his innovative ideas and his experience. This will not make Rajamouli himself an architect like the critics are talking. As most of the designs are already in place, Rajamouli was asked only to make suggestions keeping the Telugu culture as well as the modern trends in mind. Hus inclusion in the team has already created buzz across the nation, something the new capital city exactly needs.
These people who are circulating speculations and calling Rajamouli as the ‘official consultant/supervisor’ etc. for Amaravati designs either don’t know how he can contribute and the exact task he was given or they are intentionally misleading people about his role so as to incite negativity among people against the govt.
Displeased with the speculations circulated by some people on his role in the Amaravati design process, Rajamouli has given an official clarification on social media. Hailing the designs submitted by Norman team as world class, Rajamouli said that he was asked by CM Chandrababu Naidu to convey his ideas to the team so as to better the already prepared designs.
Here is a piece of information for those who might not have not got convinced even after reading all this. Chandrababu’s Telangana counterpart KCR assigned the responsibility of developing Yadadrri temple design to Tollywood art director Anand Sai. He worked with temple priests to learn the historical background of the temple and based on that he came up with a design which was approved by the Telangana CM.
