Filmmaker SS Rajamouli and actors Jr NTR and Ram Charan discuss their magnum opus ‘RRR’, scheduled to hit screens on January 7, 2022
Post the success of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s initial idea was to make a film free from visual effects and complicated stunt sequences. By his own admission, he wanted to make a quadrangle love story, which he started developing. But when he shared the idea with his wife, she asked him: “Who will watch the film, if you make a love story?”

Crediting his wife and family for being his “harshest” critics, Rajamouli says he had to shoot the idea down. The filmmaker admits that he has a fascination for bringing two superpowers together ever since childhood. It was the emotional excitement of bringing Telugu superstars Jr NTR and Ram Charan that led to the journey of RRR, a film that has been in the making for close to three years.
