SS Rajamouli is arguably the finest filmmaker in Indian cinema. After the blockbuster success of Baahubali, the star filmmaker’s fame and popularity grew beyond leaps and bounds. Now, the ace film director is awaiting the release of RRR.Now, Rajamouli has featured on TimOut Magazine’s list of “The 50 coolest filmmakers in the world.
“A box-office-monstering reminder that Bollywood represents only a fraction of what Indian cinema has to offer, Telugu language epic Baahubali earned SS Rajamouli more than a billion – billion – fans worldwide.”
“He has a knack for elevating stars who command the screen, like Nani, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, NT Rama Rao Jr, Anushka Shetty, Prabhas, and then setting them loose in bonkers-sounding adventures (Eega is about a man reincarnated as a vengeance-questing house fly), that somehow make a whole lot of sense on the big screen.”
“His inspirations range from his screenwriter dad KV Vijayendra Prasad, to Bruce Lee and Indian comic books, to Hollywood epics. ‘My all time favourites alternate between Ben Hur and Braveheart,’ he says. ‘I’ve seen them both maybe 300 times” the magazine wrote as they spoke at length about Rajamouli.
