As per reports, the revolutionary heroes of RRR are all set to return for another epic battle with the colonizing Brits.
Talking to the media, Rajamouli confirmed that his father-screenwriter, V Vijayendra Prasad is “seriously working on the story.”
The director also revealed that RRR sequel wasn’t initially on the cards, but they seriously started toying with the idea after the movie found international success.
“When we were making it, we didn’t have an idea about [a sequel]. With the initial success of it, we discussed a little bit and threw out some good ideas, but we didn’t feel there was a great idea that was worth pursuing, so we left it at that. Then, after the international success, when the topic came up again, my cousin [M. M. Keeravani] — who is also a part of my core team — gave an idea which we felt like, ‘Oh my God, this is a great idea. This is the idea that is worth pursuing.’”
– he said.
The director says he asked his father to “immediately sit on it and expand the idea.”
“At present, he’s seriously working on the story; he’s getting it done. But once this script is done is when we really look into how to make it, when to make it, and how to bring it onto the screen,” he concluded.
