Prithviraj praises Rajamouli’s grand vision; calls him a master storyteller - 'He excels in it'

After the success of 'L2: Empuraan', Prithviraj Sukumaran is all set for another biggie, the much-anticipated Mahesh Babu-SS Rajamouli film. Recently, in an interview, Prithviraj opened up about his experience of working with the 'RRR' director.

'He excels at telling a story'

In a recent chat with Mid-Day, actor Prithviraj Sukumaran offered insight into what sets director SS Rajamouli apart, especially when it comes to his signature grand-scale filmmaking.

While speaking about the much-anticipated film 'SSMB29', Prithviraj remarked, “Rajamouli sir chooses large backdrops because he excels at telling a story through big, visual strokes.”


The Malayalam star, who is also part of the film's ensemble cast, seems genuinely impressed by the director’s storytelling canvas, which he described as both ambitious and deeply engaging.

Silence from the team, buzz from the fans

The film, which stars Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, is surely one of the most awaited films this year, and the reasons are plenty.

While the filmmakers have been tight-lipped about the plot and finer details, the sheer scale of SSMB29 has fueled excitement. The fact that Rajamouli is helming the project only adds to the growing curiosity.

Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra are ready for the August shoot

According to India Today, the cast and crew of 'SSMB29' are currently on a break. Mahesh Babu, who recently took time off to celebrate his daughter’s birthday in Sri Lanka, will be returning to the sets soon. The team is expected to kick off an extensive shooting schedule starting in August. Priyanka Chopra, too, has locked in major dates for the film.

Meanwhile, Prithviraj Sukumaran's third directorial venture 'L2: Empuraan's beginning flashback sequences were praised by the audiences, and some even compared it to SS Rajamouli's movies, due to its grand scale and the execution style. 'Empuraan' may have had its flaws, but Prithviraj Sukumaran surely has set a benchmark in terms of the technical side, with the Mohanlal starrer.
