SS rajamouli, who made rrr, appears to be the only director in the indian cinema whose films are being sold in his name. It is enough for the audience that the film for which they are buying tickets has been made by Rajamouli. Such a craze of directors is not seen anywhere in the hindi belt.
The director makes the best film, but the identity of the film is due to the actors. It is rare to find an example of a director's name being sold in indian cinema. I do not remember when the audience in the popular stream bought cinema because of the directors.
If the audience is asked - make a list of favorite films and also enter the name of its directors. There is no doubt that people could hardly go ahead with the names of one or two directors.
Whereas if asked to name favorite films and their actors, then a lot of audiences will be able to. The truth is that in the popular stream, films are being sold from the faces of the actors.
But SS rajamouli, who made the period drama rrr, is one of the few directors who seems to be challenging it. rajamouli can rightly be called the greatest showman.
Director of the People. Such a director is not seen on the film screen, but his work has given him a bigger recognition than the actors. people wait for his films. Buy tickets in his name. His name is paisa vasool Entertainment Guarantee.
It is not difficult to feel this in the release of rrr at this time. How big is his stature as a director in andhra pradesh and Telangana, can be understood from his cutouts outside the theatres.
Rajamouli is also a celebrity and a well-known face for the answer. Far more and bigger face than South indian actors.
