SS Rajamouli, renowned for his visually stunning films, is currently in the pre-production stages of his highly anticipated project, SSRMB29. Known for his preference for grand sets and extensive VFX shots, Rajamouli’s choice of location for this ambitious undertaking is unsurprising.
Ramoji Film City, a sprawling film studio complex in Hyderabad, India, has long been Rajamouli’s favorite shooting spot. The vast expanse of this facility allows him the freedom to create intricate sets and control the atmosphere to match his vision. Despite the higher costs associated with shooting at Ramoji Film City compared to other studios, the unique advantages it offers are unparalleled.
Rajamouli’s previous projects, such as the epic Baahubali series, have showcased the potential of Ramoji Film City. The Mahishmati kingdom, a central setting in Baahubali, was meticulously constructed within the studio’s boundaries. It is estimated that a significant portion of the film’s budget was allocated to the rental of Ramoji Film City.
While there have been reports of Rajamouli shooting portions of his previous film, RRR, elsewhere due to billing issues, sources suggest that he is planning to return to Ramoji Film City for SSRMB29. The set work for the film is reportedly underway, and the shooting is expected to commence in January.
Rajamouli’s decision to shoot at Ramoji Film City is likely influenced by his close friendship with the late Ramoji Rao, the founder of the film studio. As a tribute to his friend, Rajamouli’s choice to film in this iconic location serves as a testament to their enduring bond.
