Rajamouli Students Are Finally Getting Big Films
In the Telugu film industry, directors like Sukumar, Trivikram Srinivas and SS Rajamouli have created a special place for themselves.
In the Telugu film industry, directors like Sukumar, Trivikram Srinivas and SS Rajamouli have created a special place for themselves. Their success is not only about their own films. Many people who worked with them also got opportunities to become directors and prove their talent.
Rajamouli is one of the biggest examples. He worked with a strong team for many years and gave opportunities to several talented technicians and assistants. However, becoming a successful director after working with a big filmmaker is not easy. Every person has to create their own identity and prove their storytelling skills.
One example is Peta Trikoti, who worked with Rajamouli from the early stages of his career. He later became a director with Dikkulu Choodaku Ramayya. He also made films like Juvva and Aho Vikramaarka. Although he got opportunities, he did not immediately get the chance to work with top stars.
Another Rajamouli team member is Ashwin Gangaraju. He worked during the Eega and Baahubali periods and later made his directorial debut with Aakashavaani. The film received appreciation, but it did not become a major commercial success.
Now, things are changing for Ashwin. He is reportedly working on a big project with Rishab Shetty, who became a pan-India star after Kantara. The project is being planned on a large scale, with a period-action backdrop. This is a major opportunity for Ashwin and could take his career to another level.
There are similar stories around directors who worked with other successful filmmakers like Sukumar and Trivikram. Their teams have people who understand storytelling, screenplay, technical work and large-scale filmmaking closely.
But the real challenge starts after leaving the mentor's team. Success depends on their own stories, execution and ability to connect with audiences.
Sukumar, Trivikram and Rajamouli became successful through their own talent. Now, their assistants and team members are getting bigger opportunities. It will be interesting to see whether they can turn that experience into successful films and create their own names in the industry.
