The Success Formula of Vijayendra Prasad and Rajamouli:
The dynamic duo of Numero Uno writer Vijayendra Prasad and director S. S. Rajamouli has consistently delivered success in Tollywood, and there’s a specific reason behind their remarkable streak.
According to an inside source, their secret lies in their adherence to a traditional practice of engaging in story discussions. This approach enables them to view a script from multiple perspectives. The source explains that they assemble a team comprising approximately 30 individuals, including both young talents and experienced professionals, for these story discussions.
During these sessions, Rajamouli quietly observes while the team dissects various aspects of the script, such as scenes, character development, and key plot points. On the other hand, Vijayendra Prasad actively participates in these discussions, injecting humor and smiles when team members propose ideas. However, he also contributes by providing thought-provoking counterarguments, fostering an environment where various aspects of the script are thoroughly debated to craft larger-than-life narratives.
The source commends this practice, drawing parallels with legendary directors like Dasari Narayana Rao and K. Viswanath, who also engaged in similar discussions with writers to refine their scripts. They were open to writers questioning the logic of scenes and were willing to make corrections if the objections had merit.
Given the recent trend of films struggling due to a lack of innovation in their plots, Rajamouli and Vijayendra Prasad serve as exemplary models of how to consistently produce blockbusters through comprehensive story discussions and meticulous script preparation. The source concludes by urging other filmmakers to take a page from their playbook.
