The most anticipated and the biggest multi-starrer in Tollywood is set to go on floors soon. Although director S.S. Rajamouli has been guarded about the film’s theme, story and plot, here’s an interesting titbit about the project.
We have reliably learnt that this film, starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR, will be a period drama. The story will unfold against the backdrop of the ’20s.
A source informs, “Rajamouli’s father and writer Vijayendra Prasad has penned a gripping drama that’ll show both the stars, Charan and Jr NTR, in a new light without affecting their respective market images. Since the director has earlier worked on themes like rebirths and on period dramas, it’ll be interesting to see how he gives a different spin to this period drama.”
To create a setting that reflects the times, the filmmaker has erected a huge set near Gandipet where a major portion of the first schedule will be shot. The source adds, “The preparations for the set work are in full swing and nearing completion. While some action sequences will be shot at another set in the aluminium factory, major portions will be shot at the Gandipet set on the city’s outskirts.”
Meanwhile, Ram Charan, who has been shooting for director Boyapati Sreenu, will apparently take a 10-day break from the ongoing project to commence shooting scenes alongside Jr NTR for Rajamouli’s film. The source adds, “Both the actors are supposed to shoot together in November as per the original plan. And Charan wants to stick to the original plan. Despite the delay in Boyapati’s film, Charan wants to make sure that
Rajamouli’s film schedule remains unaffected. So, he is taking a 10-day break to join Rajamouli’s film.”
