Rajamouli unique plan for Mahesh Babu.According to well-informed sources, the celebrated director S.S. Rajamouli has secured a lease on the Aluminium Factory lands in Serilingampally, Gachibowli, for the purpose of conducting workshops and preparatory work for his upcoming cinematic spectacle with superstar Mahesh Babu. Evidently, Rajamouli sought the freedom that the expansive 9-acre land provides, making it an ideal location for filming various scenes, especially action sequences. Historically, this site has been a favored spot for Telugu filmmakers, offering a versatile backdrop for a multitude of cinematic requirements.
Additionally, the premises include a 4-acre farmhouse, which presents a tranquil environment, shielded from the hustle and bustle of the city, making it perfect for conducting acting workshops and script discussions. The isolation of this property ensures that the creative team can focus undisturbed on the intricacies of their work.
Rajamouli's decision to lease this space is reminiscent of his previous strategy, where he shot significant scenes for his blockbuster "RRR," starring NTR and Ram Charan, at this very location. In fact, this site has been utilized for major scenes in other high-profile films such as "Pokiri" and "Aravinda Sametha."
Construction of sets for the upcoming film with Mahesh Babu is already underway at the Aluminium factory, with completion anticipated by the end of June. The shooting schedule for this ambitious project is expected to span two years, with plans for extensive filming in various international locations. KL Narayana is financing the venture, and the Oscar-winning composer M.M. Keeravani is set to create the film's musical score.
This move by Rajamouli to lease the Aluminium Factory lands reflects his intention to replicate the success of "RRR," aiming to achieve a worldwide hit with Mahesh Babu, much like he did with the "Baahubali" saga, which was shot at Ramoji Film City for four years prior to shifting to the Aluminium Factory for "RRR." It's clear that Rajamouli is setting the stage for another epic production, leveraging locations that have proven to be conducive to his grand vision.
