When Rajamouli emphasised the stories about the lives of Rama Raju and Bheem and narratively connected the coincidences between them and made a film fictionalising their friendship, the world got wind, and ever since the film's  release, it has been nearly unbeatable. A recent interview with 'Variety' revealed that the award winning director's father, screenwriter Vijayendra Prasad, is "seriously working on the story."

Two Golden Globe nominations were announced last week for the 3 hour action-musical epic, which has been in the news due to the song "Naatu Naatu," which was shortlisted for original song and best non -English language film. The New York Film Critics Circle also named Rajamouli the year's best director..Rajamouli said, "When we were making it, we didn't have an idea about [a sequel]". "With the initial success of it, we discussed a little bit and threw out some good ideas, but we didn't feel there was a great idea that was worth pursuing, so we left it at that."

Rajamouli continued: "Then, after the international success, when the topic came up again, my cousin [Golden Globe-nominated music composer M. M. Keeravani] -- who is also a part of my core team -- gave an idea which we felt like, 'Oh my God, this is a great idea. This is the idea that is worth pursuing'."

The director says he asked his father — who narrates the story to Rajamouli and others, who then write up the first draft — to "immediately sit on it and expand the idea. At present, he’s seriously working on the story; he’s getting it done," says Rajamouli. "But once this script is done is when we really look into how to make it, when to make it, and how to bring it onto the screen." he furtherly added.

RRR, a fictional story based on the lives of Telugu freedom fighters Alluri Seetharama Raju and Komaram Bheem, starring NTR Jr., Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, and Shriya Saran, has won its first international award. Alia Bhatt's first film in the Tollywood industry. Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, Samuthirakani, Alison Doody, Ray Stevenson, Makarand Deshpande, and Olivia Morris are just a few of the stars featured in the ensemble cast. MM Keeravani composed the music for this film.

Released on March 22, 2022 the film has since amassed a staggering global gross of around 1200 crores, making many in overseas to turn heads. Diehards went crazy over the jaw-dropping special effects and the stellar acting from south biggie stars  Jr. NT Rama Rao and Ram Charan.
