SS Rajamouli Reveals What Inspires Him To Have 'RRR' Sequel

Hyderabad, December 29 - It has been nearly 9 months since RRR arrived in theaters but the craze for this SS Rajamouli's epic hasn't faded yet. "RRR" has been one of those rare Indian gems that have made the world dance to its tune and it has continuously been doing that month after month.

Starring Telegu superstars Ram Charan and N.T. Rama Rao Jr. (N.T.R.) in the leading role, "RRR" has been immensely successful in the west and made Rajamouli a filmmaker to watch out for there. This unbelievable success of the movie has led to the discussion of its sequel.



Rajamouli revealed that he initially had dropped the idea of making the RRR's sequel, but when he witnessed the massive response in the West and seriously gave thought to make "RRR". The blockbuster filmmaker recently revealed that he asked his writer-father, V. Vijayendra Prasad, to develop the story on it.

"Whenever a film succeeds, as writers, me, my father, my cousin, we sit and we discuss whether it can be taken forward. We usually have some good ideas because we're high on the success of the film. The same thing happened with RRR. There were some good ideas, but not compelling ones".

"Then, after coming to the U.S. and seeing the reaction, I was talking about my experiences to my father, and suddenly my cousin came up with an idea. I thought, "Wow, this is a great idea — this has to be developed into a script!" So, I asked my father to write a script based on that fantastic idea, and now he's in the process of developing it. Once it becomes a full script, we'll look into how to take it forward", Rajamouli told Deadline.

Rajamouli will next be directing another Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu and for which, the shoot is expected to commence later next year. The script is currently under development and as promised by Rajamouli himself, it will be a globe-trotting film.
