Rajamouli Reveals Suriya's Missed 2 Movies, Details Inside
So Vikramarkudu went to Ravi Teja. Magadheera went to Ram Charan. Both became massive hits. Iconic films.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 13 Dec 2025 6:06 PM ISTSome opportunities slip away quietly. No noise. No drama. Years later, they come back as a “what if?” This one hits like that.
SS Rajamouli today sits right at the top of Indian cinema. Before Baahubali, Telugu films rarely got nationwide attention. After it, everything changed. Scale, reach, expectations, on another level. Naturally, every top actor wants to work with him.
Here’s the surprise. Rajamouli once wanted to do two films with Suriya. Not one. Two. Those films were Vikramarkudu and Magadheera. But back then, things didn’t fall into place. Language issues, timing, market realities, small things, but they mattered. Rajamouli finally felt it made more sense to go ahead with Telugu heroes.
So Vikramarkudu went to Ravi Teja. Magadheera went to Ram Charan. Both became massive hits. Iconic films. And yes, film circles still say this, if Suriya had done them, his career graph might’ve looked very different today. Bigger reach. New phase. Maybe even a game-changer.
What’s nice to hear is this, Suriya has never closed that door. He’s said more than once that he’s ready to work with Rajamouli, even in a small role. No conditions. Just respect for the craft.
Now fans are left wondering. Will this long-talked-about combo finally happen? If it does, it won’t come quietly.
