SS Rajamouli completes 15 years in Tollywood

One of the most respected directors in the Telugu film industry at the moment has to be SS Rajamouli. He was already famous, but after ‘Baahubali’ released last year, he achieved a legendary status. Now, this ace director has completed 15 years in the Telugu film industry.
Rajamouli took to Twitter and shared his emotions on achieving this milestone, “15 years since my debut as a director.25 years since I joined as an editing assistant. Sounds a long time ago. Doesn’t feel like it though.” The occasion was made even more special for him and actor Jr NTR as it was on September 27, 2001 that the duo’s first movie, ‘Student No 1’ came out.

Rajamouli also had a lot to say about the success of ‘Student No 1’, ”I credit the success of Student No.1 largely to Pridhiviteja's script and MMK's music. You can see Tarak's good work in few scenes but he was still budding as an actor. My direction was very amateurish at its best except maybe for the interval sequence. When we went for the Vijayayathra I saw how people started embracing and accepting Tarak. Masses and even old people used to throng to see this 19 year old boy. That was quite an experience. All of us, new comers, who were associated with the film are quite lucky to get that chance.”
