With Baahubali 1 & 2 and RRR, he mesmerized audiences worldwide with his vision and craft, even bringing home an Oscar with RRR.
His upcoming projects are always in the spotlight, and he has changed the long-held perception that sequels don’t work in Telugu cinema.
Back in 2013, Baahubali: The Beginning became a massive blockbuster with Prabhas in the lead, and its sequel, Baahubali 2, went on to become an even bigger success, setting a new benchmark for Indian cinema.
Notably, Baahubali became the first Telugu sequel to achieve such phenomenal success and elevate the stature of Telugu films on a national and international level.
Following this, the trend of making sequels has grown significantly.
Many filmmakers are now trying to split stories into multiple parts, often dragging the narrative with the hope of cashing in on hype.
In contrast, Rajamouli stayed away from this trend — RRR was made as a single film despite its massive scale, and his upcoming project with superstar Mahesh Babu is also following the same approach.
Currently, social media discussions highlight how some filmmakers unnecessarily stretch storylines just to create sequels, which can dilute the impact of the film.
Audiences argue that not every film can become a Baahubali, and forcing sequels for the sake of craze leads to a loss of interest, frustration, and dissatisfaction.
The general consensus?
Only when a story genuinely demands multiple parts should sequels be made — otherwise, a strong, complete single film is far more impactful.
