Hyderabad: Renowned director SS Rjamouli gained worldwide fame with 'Baahubali'. With 'RRR', that craze increased manifold. The foreign audience also fell in love with 'RRR'. In this background, many countries are inviting Rajamouli to talk about movies.
Recently, he participated in the 'Toronto International Film Festival'. On the occasion, he shared interesting things with the audience. He explained the background of the upcoming film with superstar Mahesh Babu. He said that it is an adventurer's trip around the world.
He explained that he wanted to screen it on a grand scale. "I started using visual effects to strongly show the little emotions of passing time. I have started increasing the level of effects for every film,” Rajamouli clarified. He also spoke about the Telugu film industry.
India has a rich history and wonderful stories. They tell everything in the form of stories. “I grew up watching the Ramayana and Mahabharata. To be honest, the Telugu film industry has produced the most films on the Ramayana and Mahabharata in the Indian film industry. Most of them have drama and action and I liked them very much. So, I thought how would it be if I write stories inspired by these and show them on the silver screen? I told such stories. At present, the level of Telugu film industry has increased.”
It has spread across the world beyond all borders. “I watched many movies as a child. Some of the scenes in the films made an indelible mark in my mind. As emotions are expressed magically, it is understood that they are rooted in the mind. Director Mel Gibson is my inspiration. I learnt from Mel Gibson how to show many things strongly, including action," he said,
