Modern Masters: SS Rajamouli: SS Rajamouli’s documentary ‘Modern Master: SS Rajamouli’ is in the news these days. In this documentary, SS Rajamouli has talked about his films Bahubali and RRR. Talking about Bahubali, he said that the film got very bad reviews on the first day.
Let us tell you that when the film was ready, everyone was nervous because no one knew what kind of response the film would get. The budget of the film was very high and if the film could not recover the budget, it would be a flop. Karan Johar had organized a screening of the film.
Bad reviews in Telugu
Rana Daggubati said- More than half of the industry had reached the screening. At that time everyone was talking. So I was wondering why everyone was talking. I had 5-5 missed calls from Prabhas and SS Karthikeya. But after the second half everyone was whistling. After the film ended, they clapped. But in Telugu, the fans had a different reaction. I did not understand whether two different films were being talked about?
Producer Shobu Yarlagadda said that people’s reaction to this film was not good. They were saying that this film is not good. The film has no substance.
It was a stressful time
SS Rajamouli said- The most important place from where the money had to come was where the film should have worked. The reports from two Telugu states were not good. Fans called it average. It was a very stressful time and we were in a lot of trouble.
Prabhas said that it was a complete flop in Telugu. Before the release of every film, I tell my friends to wake me up if the film is a blockbuster. But no one woke me up.
SS Rajamouli’s son started crying
SS Rajamouli’s son SS Karthikeya said- Even today when I think about that time, I get scared. At that time, the show was at 1 or 2 in the night. We had to go to the 6 o’clock show in the morning. It must have been 3 o’clock in the night when a lot of negative reviews started coming. People were criticizing the film. They were criticizing Papa. They were saying that this film is a waste of time and money. Everything was over. Forget about Part 2, we were thinking how to cover the expenses of Part 1. I went upstairs and I saw that Papa was walking and looking at his phone. He saw me and hugged me, I started crying. I cannot describe that feeling. But then everything changed overnight. Now the family started going to watch the film and was liking it. The collection of the film also increased.
