 "RRR & Baahubali 2 director SS Rajamouli's friend & collaborator accuses filmmaker of torture in final video before alleged suicide: 'I never thought a woman could come...'")
SS Rajamouli, known for directing global blockbusters like RRR and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, has been accused by producer Uppalapati Srinivasa Rao of torture and harassment.
Rao, who claims to be Rajamouli’s friend, shared that he was responsible for his personal and professional struggles. The producer shot a video and sent it to Mettu Police Station along with a letter, which was accessed by Big TV.
“India’s number one director, SS Rajamouli and Rama Rajamouli, are the reason for my suicide. You might think I am doing this for publicity, but this is my final letter. Everyone from MM Keeravaani to Chandrasekhar Yeleti and Hanu Raghavapudi knows how close I have been to Rajamouli for years now. I never thought a woman could come between us,” Rao said in the video.
Srinivasa claimed that SS Rajamouli and he have a ‘triangle love story’ with a woman, much like Sukumar’s film Arya 2 in the video. “He asked me to sacrifice my love for her, and while I didn’t agree at first, I did later on. He believed I’d told people about this, and he began torturing me after we got into an argument. We worked together till Yamadonga (2007), but he ruined my life after that. He tortured me so much since he became a big shot. I am 55 years old and have lived a single life,” said Rao and allegedly asked police to do a lie detector test.
Meanwhile, the blockbuster filmmaker is currently in the pre-production SSMB 29 featuring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra. The film is expected to go on floors in April 2025 and end its shoot by the end of 2026. The makers are targeting to release the movie in 2027. It will be shot in studios in the USA, India, and African forests.
