 "Here's how the 'RRR' director's family is also his work crew")
S. S. Rajamouli, incredible storyteller and a globally renowned Indian filmmaker, has inspired many, and his work has firmly placed Indian cinema on the global map. Coming from a humble background, Rajamouli and his family are passionate about creating compelling stories. Rajamouli credits his family for their unwavering support, encouragement, and contributions by playing key roles in his craft.
From his father to son, everyone is integrally involved in his filmography. His uncle, K. Shiva Shakthi Datta, is a lyricist; his father, V. Vijayendra Prasad, is a screenwriter and director; both his sister-in-law, M. M. Srivalli, and his son, S. S. Karthikeya, are line producers; and his wife, Rama Rajamouli, is a costume designer. Additionally, his cousin, M. M. Keeravani, is a music composer famously known for the 95th Academy Awards (Oscars) winning song ‘Naatu Naatu’ from RRR; another cousin, S. S. Kanchi is a writer; and his nephew, Kaala Bhairava, is a singer.
It is very rare for an entire family to work together so closely in Indian cinema. Rajamouli shares in the docu-film, on working with his family, “I feel I am extremely lucky to have such a family who are so protective about me.”
Rajamouli’s family has stood by him at every step of his career, working tirelessly to bring exceptional cinema to audiences. Produced by Applause Entertainment and Film Companion Studios, Modern Masters is directed by Raghav Khanna.
Watch on 2nd August only on Netflix to learn more about Rajamouli, his films, and the personal journey that led him to choose cinema.
