Filmmaker
SS
Rajamouli
needs
no
introduction,
as
his
work
speaks
for
him.
After
delivering
mega
blockbuster
Baahubali,
he
is
currently
gearing
up
for
his
next
release
RRR,
which
stars
Ram
Charan,
Jr
NTR,
Ajay
Devgn
and
Alia
Bhatt
in
the
lead
roles.
Owing
to
the
massive
success
that
his
last
directorial
achieved,
people
have
higher
expectations
from
him.
In
his
recent
conversation
with
ETimes,
when
Rajamouli
was
asked
who
is
his
biggest
critic,
without
batting
an
eyelid,
he
took
his
family's
name.
He
said,
"My
whole
family.
They
are
ruthless
critics,
absolutely
ruthless.
They
don't
show
any
mercy
even
though
I
am
their
father,
their
son,
their
husband,
brother
(laughs),
they
show
no
mercy
in
ripping
apart
my
films
if
they
don't
like
anything.
They
are
the
harshest
and
no
one
even
comes
close
to
them.
But
again,
they
are
my
strength.
I
learn
from
them
as
they
lead
me
in
the
right
directions."
In
the
same
interview,
when
the
maverick
filmmaker
was
asked
about
what
he
feels
about
releasing
the
film
amid
the
ongoing
surge
in
Omicron
cases
in
India,
he
said
that
he
does
not
worry
about
the
things,
which
are
not
in
his
hand.
"We
are
all
set
to
release
the
film
across
the
world,
in
thousands
of
theatres
on
January
7th
as
scheduled.
I
think
about
the
problems
that
are
in
my
hand,
that
I
can
solve.
COVID,
pandemic,
or
Omicron
or
whatever
are
things
that
are
not
in
our
hands,
that
are
in
nature's
hand.
If
nature
says
stop,
we
have
to
stop.
If
it
says
pause,
we
have
to
pause
and
if
it
says
play,
we
have
to
play.
So
I
won't
worry
about
things
which
are
not
in
my
hand," asserted
Rajamouli.
