From a debut with Jr NTR to directing global phenomena like RRR, SS Rajamouli has built a universe where impossible becomes real. Here’s his complete journey and what he’s working on next.
SS Rajamouli, over the years, has helmed and produced only mammoth projects. The filmmaker has always aimed for the bigger and what seems impossible. And the result? A Rs 1,000 crore earning and worldwide acclaim for each of his films.
It all started in 2001 with Student No 1, starring Jr NTR. The film not only marked NTR’s debut as the male lead but also introduced the world to Rajamouli’s vision.
Later, he established himself as a prominent filmmaker with projects such as Simhadri and Sye. Then came Magadheera in 2009, starring Ram Charan, which became a turning point in both the actor’s and director’s life. With Eega (2012), Rajamouli turned a housefly into a hero, a risk that only a person of his calibre could afford to take. And the result? A blockbuster with Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Nani and Kiccha Sudeep in key roles.

Did you know Rajamouli rewatches his films 100 times?
In an interview with The New Yorker, SS Rajamouli once revealed a trivia about himself. He said, “For me, it is very important to understand how my audience members feel about my films. At the same time, I don’t think many people can really express how they like or dislike the movie. The moment you put them in a position to judge your film, they lose that perception.”
He added that he goes to the theatres and watches his own films, even a hundred times, to gauge audience reaction. “The best way for me to judge my own films is to go to the theatre, sit with the audience, and feel how they’re responding. I visit theatres showing my films sometimes ten, thirty, forty, or even a hundred times to get a sense of how the audience receives my films,” he revealed.
Meanwhile, SS Rajamouli has planned a mega Globetrotter event on November 15. Stay tuned for those rooting for more updates on the film.
