S.S. Rajamouli, the visionary director behind global blockbusters like Baahubali and RRR, is synonymous with unparalleled success. While his original films consistently shatter records, a curious anomaly exists within the realm of their remakes. Almost every adaptation of his work has been a super hit, yet one particular film unexpectedly faltered. Join us as we explore this surprising cinematic mystery.
His Films: Remake Goldmine
Shocking News! While master director S.S. Rajamouli has risen to become a world-class filmmaker without a single failure—with every film he directs after ‘Baahubali’ creating a worldwide sensation, and his next being ‘Varanasi’ with Mahesh Babu—the unexpected truth is that while all remakes of his films have been super hits, one particular film surprisingly flopped. Let’s delve into which films achieved success and why one failed.
Rajamouli’s ‘Vikramarkudu’ proved to be a popular choice for remakes, scoring two significant hits. Its Tamil adaptation, starring Karthi and directed by Siva, became a blockbuster success, with Karthi excelling in his dual role. Similarly, Prabhu Deva directed a Bollywood remake of ‘Vikramarkudu’, featuring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha, which also raked in massive collections. Another of Rajamouli’s films, ‘Maryada Ramanna’, also created a sensation in Bollywood. Starring Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha, this remake achieved sensational success.
Chatrapathi: The Sole Disaster
However, the remake of ‘Chatrapathi’ stands as the sole outlier, turning out to be a disaster. Rajamouli’s original ‘Chatrapathi’, starring Prabhas, was released in 2005. The decision to remake a Telugu hero’s film with another Telugu hero, almost 18 years later, for a Hindi audience, proved to be ill-fated. Directed by V.V. Vinayak and starring Bellamkonda Sreenivas, this film failed to resonate.
