SS
Rajamouli,
who
could
rightly
be
called
as
a
super
director
as
his
popularity
among
the
masses
is
no
less
than
that
of
a
superstar,
is
celebrating
his
birthday
today
(October
10).
Never
before
Baahubali,
we
saw
a
film
that
created
a
craze
all
across
India
without
any
linguistic
barriers.
The
man
behind
the
Baahubali
series
should
be
credited
for
that
and
his
repertoire
proves
that
he
is
the
undisputed
king
of
pan-Indian
cinema.
It
was
Baahubali
that
opened
the
prospects
of
South
Indian
films
in
the
pan-Indian
market.
The
movie
proved
that
a
South
movie
can
register
records
in
the
Northern
belt
as
well.
Even
before
Baahubali,
he
conquered
the
entire
South
Indian
market
with
Magadheera,
which
was
a
trailer
of
sorts
to
the
bigger
projects
in
store.
Now,
it
has
been
more
than
two
years
since
the
release
of
Baahubali
2
and
we
are
still
to
find
a
movie
that
replicated
a
similar
craze.
Even
Prabhas's
Saaho
failed
to
recreate
the
success
that
Baahubali
had
done.
It
gained
acceptance
in
the
Northern
belt
but
failed
to
make
use
of
the
South
Indian
market.
Most
recent
release
Sye
Raa
Narasimha
Reddy,
which
also
released
in
multiple
languages,
failed
to
conquer
the
pan-Indian
market
as
the
movie
has
found
acceptance
in
the
South
Indian
regions
alone.
Even
highly
hyped
Bollywood
movies
of
big
superstars
failed
to
make
a
mark
in
the
pan-Indian
market.
A
film
has
more
chances
to
work
in
the
pan-Indian
market
if
the
audiences
root
for
the
characters,
without
any
linguistic
or
nativity
hurdles.
That
brings
the
name
SS
Rajamouli
to
the
fore.
He
knows
the
importance
of
strong
characterisations
and
the
emotional
backdrop
that
each
of
them
deserves.
His
impeccable
way
of
story-telling
embellished
with
emotional
aspects,
which
are
very
much
relatable
to
audiences
of
all
terrains,
makes
him
a
master
craftsman.
He
can
elevate
even
the
cliched
sequences
to
another
level
as
such
is
the
build-up
that
he
gives
to
the
core
sequences.
The
master
craftsman
is
one
among
those
very
few
directors,
who
knows
the
pulse
of
the
commercial
audiences,
all
across
the
country.
He
seldom
fails
to
register
an
emotional
connect
with
each
of
his
characters,
which
makes
his
movies
a
treat
to
the
audiences
across
the
country.
Meanwhile,
he
is
coming
up
with
his
next
big
project,
which
is
tentatively
being
referred
to
as
RRR.
The
film
has
already
struck
the
right
chords
as
far
as
casting
is
considered.
Big
names
from
the
Indian
film
industry
are
a
part
of
this
project.
Let
us
wait
and
see
what
magic
he
has
in
store
for
the
audiences.
