SS Rajamouli, the star director who has captured the hearts of audiences across India and beyond with his blockbuster movies, has had an illustrious career in the film industry. Known for his epic storytelling and attention to detail, he is considered as the biggest commercial directors in India. However, many may not know that Rajamouli once tried to collaborate with Chiranjeevi, one of the biggest stars in Telugucinema, back when he was still leading the industry.
Despite his best efforts, Rajamouli was unable to get a chance to work with Chiranjeevi at that time. Chiranjeevi, who was at the height of his career, was one of the most sought-after actors in the industry and had his pick of projects to work on. Rajamouli, who was just starting out in the industry, was unable to secure a project with him.
However, fate had other plans in store for both Rajamouli and Chiranjeevi. In 2007, Chiranjeevi made the decision to enter politics and stepped away from the film industry. For the next decade, he focused on his political career and stayed away from movies.
Meanwhile, Rajamouli’s career skyrocketed with the release of his magnum opus, Baahubali, which broke box office records and became a cultural phenomenon. With the success of Baahubali, Rajamouli cemented his position as one of the top directors in India and became a household name across the country.
Now, with Chiranjeevi returning to acting and doing movies in a row, it remains to be seen whether Rajamouli will really collaborate with Chiranjeevi or not.
