Jr NTR and Rajamouli share a professional association spanning more than two decades, beginning with Student No. 1 in 2001. Their collaboration continued with Simhadri in 2003 and Yamadonga in 2007, before they reunited after a 14-year gap for the 2022 blockbuster RRR, which also featured Ram Charan.
Rajamouli has earned recognition for combining emotionally driven storytelling with elaborate action sequences and expansive cinematic worlds. His notable films include Magadheera (2009), Eega (2012), Baahubali: The Beginning (2015), Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) and RRR (2022).
The Baahubali films further established his ability to mount large-scale historical fantasy dramas, while RRR brought international attention to his filmmaking and storytelling style.
Rajamouli is currently working on Varanasi, an ambitious action-adventure project starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film marks Priyanka’s return to a major Indian production after an extended focus on international projects.
Mahesh Babu plays Rudhra, Priyanka portrays Mandakini, and Prithviraj takes on the role of Kumbha. The makers have scheduled the film’s theatrical release for April 7, 2027.
