Telugu star heroes and their egos often go hand in hand. Every top-tier hero carries this star ego; no one is an exception. It’s not for any particular reason-just a baggage that comes with stardom. Our Tollywood heroes are no different, and it becomes especially clear when they work with certain directors. The same hero who barely puts in one or ten percent of effort for some directors will give everything for a director they respect and trust.
But when it comes to Rajamouli, there is absolutely no ego. They follow him as if his word were law, surrendering fully to his vision -not just on set, but even during promotional events.
The image above captures one striking example: Prabhas, one of India’s most reserved, shy stars completely surrendered to Rajamouli at the Bahubali pre-release event, entering the stage by dropping in with ropes. Even Mahesh Babu, known for being rigid and keeping to himself, showed the same respect when making his entry on Nandi at Varanasi title reveal event.
This clearly shows how these Telugu star heroes approach Rajamouli’s films with devotion and passion, while their commitment to other directors’ projects pales in comparison. When Rajamouli speaks, stars like Ram Charan, NTR, Prabhas and Mahesh simply surrender.
