Rajamouli Turning Heroes Into Producer: How And Why?

Rajamouli has the biggest commercial value for any Indian director as of this moment and virtually every hero who works with him is becoming a sensational star across Indian cinema. Now he appears to have found a new habit as he has started to turn star heroes into star producers, and here is a look into the story behind the same.

After working with Rajamouli, several top heroes in Telugu cinema have now turned producers or are planning to produce their own films.

For many years, there was a belief that collaborating with Rajamouli could be followed by a flop, but over time fans have seen a different pattern emerge. What’s becoming clear is that after working with Rajamouli, many leading actors choose to launch or revive their own production banners for their next movies.

For example, after Baahubali, Prabhas starred in Sahoo and Radhe Shyam, both produced under his own UV Creations. Ram Charan, after RRR, became a partner in his family’s Konidela Production for Acharya.

Junior NTR brought his banner NTR Arts to the forefront with films like Devara. Meanwhile, Yama Donga’s path didn’t follow this trend, but many others did.

Now it seems Mahesh Babu is planning to reactivate his GMB banner to produce his next film as well. If the budget is high, he might bring in a partner or do a tie-up similar to Major or Srimanthudu. With Rajamouli’s films aiming for international reach, this move makes sense from a business perspective — and Mahesh Babu could become the next big star-producer in the industry.
