Legendary filmmaker Singeetam Srinivasa Rao, a name synonymous with originality and fearless experimentation, is stepping into a new creative chapter- one that promises to be the loftiest undertaking of his storied career. After lending his inventive mind to Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD, the filmmaker has now taken charge of his next directorial venture, SSR61, signalling that his passion for cinema burns brighter than ever.
The project was formally launched today with a traditional puja ceremony, but the real spark came from an evocative announcement video celebrating Singeetam’s rare genius- his restless imagination, playful command over craft, and enduring influence on generations of filmmakers. Featuring nostalgic clips of renowned directors, the video reminded viewers why the creator of Pushpaka Vimanam, Aditya 369, and several genre-defining classics remains a towering institution.
Backing this prestigious film is Nag Ashwin, who is producing SSR61 under the iconic Vyjayanthi Movies banner- a collaboration that blends old-world wisdom with contemporary cinematic ambition. Adding further sparkle is Rockstar Devi Sri Prasad, whose music is expected to bring youthful energy to Singeetam’s vision.
Vyjayanthi Movies has already positioned SSR61 as Singeetam’s most ambitious film ever- a bold claim considering the trailblazing legacy he carries. With the title and additional details to be revealed soon, the announcement has sparked tremendous curiosity, setting the stage for what could be a landmark moment in Indian cinema.
Singeetam is not merely returning; he is aiming to outdo himself. And that possibility alone is enough to make SSR61 one of the most awaited projects of the year.
