SS Rajamouli Leases Aluminium Factory Land for Mahesh Babu's Magnum Opus

If reliable sources are to be believed, ace director S S Rajamouli has reportedly taken Aluminium Factory lands for ‘lease’ to conduct workshops and other works for his upcoming magnum-op with superstar Mahesh Babu. “He wanted complete freedom to shoot in the Aluminium factory, so he has taken the 9-acre land in Serilingampally at Gachibowli on lease. It was a very popular shooting spot for Telugu filmmakers for many years to shoot action sequences and other stuff,” he says and adds, “There is also a 4-acre spacious farmhouse within the premises which is isolated, calm and away from buzzing city noise and acting workshops could be conducted and even scripts discussions at times,’ he adds.

Rajamouli himself canned many important scenes in his last release ‘RRR’ starring NTR and Ram Charan. Also, it was used in other big-ticket movies like ‘Pokiri’, ‘And Aravinda Sametha. “Already, set construction has started at the Aluminium factory and will be completed by the end of June,” he points out. The shooting schedule will span for two years and extensive shootings have been planned across different global locations. KL Narayana is bankrolling the project, while the Oscar-winning M M Keeravani is composing the music.

Rajamouli shot his magnum opus “Baahubali’ in Ramoji Film City for four years and then shifted his location to Aluminium Factory for his other film ‘RRR’. “Probably, he wants to recreate the magic of 'RRR' and intends to score a worldwide hit with Mahesh Babu too,” he concludes.
