The rumor mills in the film industry and the trade are agog with the news coming in that director S.S.Rajamouli, who is known in the film industry as the man with Midas touch and never seen or directed a flop movie in his entire directorial career, is going to direct Chiranjeevi the number one hero in the Telugu Film Industry in a forthcoming film.

His mentor and guru K.Raghavendra Rao will produce the film under his banner RK Film Associates.

It was K.Raghavendra Rao, who introduced S.S.Rajamouli to the film industry by giving him a break in the film ‘Student No: 1’, starring Junior NTR in the lead. The film went on to become a big hit at the exhibition arenas. The success of the film saw S.S.Rajamouli growing in stature with each film and stood tall among all the upcoming directors. The subsequent films like ‘Simhadri’, ‘Sye’, ‘Chatrapathi’, and the recent one ‘Vikramarkudu’ worked magic at the box-office.

What might have prompted Chiranjeevi to express his desire to act in the direction of S.S.Rajamouli must be for the fact that all the films of S.S.Rajamouli had the mass elements in precise places. Chiranjeevi, whose films off late is not finding favor with the masses, must have thought long and hard on the director for his latest film. He finally thought that the man who can provide him the much-needed boost is S.S.Rajamouli.

The shooting of the film will start in January of next year.

The coming together of this high-voltage pair will undoubtedly create a lot of pyrotechnics at the box-office in a huge and explosive manner.
