There were reports in the media a few days back that S.S. Rajamouli has been asked to design the government buildings in Andhra Pradesh new capital Amaravathi  by the chief minister Chandrababu Naidu.  It was also said that the CM was not satisfied with the designs given by Foster and Partners.

However Rajamouli has today issued a clarification on the report by stating that "Various news that I was appointed as a consultant, designer, supervisor etc for Amaravathi are not true.., Foster + Partners are a world renowned architectural firm. The designs they submitted were first class in my opinion.  Chandra Babu Naidu garu and his team are very happy with it but he wanted a design for the assembly to be much more iconic. "All I am doing is interpreting the vision of CBN garu to Foster + Partners to quicken the process. Hope this small contribution of mine is some kind of help in that epic project."
