The hype around S.S. Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu’s upcoming adventure epic reached a new peak after recent statements by veteran writer K.V. Vijayendra Prasad.
Speaking at an open-house event, the celebrated screenwriter offered a few cryptic yet thrilling details about the highly secretive venture.
A journalist asked about a previously teased 30-minute high-octane sequence meant to “shake Indian cinema,” questioning if the plot is mythological, political, or spiritual.
Vijayendra Prasad responded with a smile, stating it features a battle between Lord Rama and Kumbhakarna, hinting that epic elements and nods to Lord Hanuman will shape the narrative backdrop.
The host then quizzed him on whether the film utilizes multiple intricate “time zones” and storytelling layers on a scale much larger than Rajamouli’s previous blockbuster Magadheera.
True to the project’s secretive nature, Vijayendra Prasad quickly shut down further deep-dives into the film’s structure, laughing as he noted that they shouldn’t speak too much about it.
