SS Rajamouli Opens Up About Personal Life in Netflix Documentary “Modern Masters”
In a notable departure from the norm, acclaimed director SS Rajamouli and his family have provided an intimate look into their personal lives in the Netflix documentary “Modern Masters.” Renowned for his epic films such as “Baahubali” and “RRR,” Rajamouli’s decision to share his personal and family experiences has captivated audiences, particularly those beyond the Telugu-speaking community.
The documentary delves into Rajamouli’s professional achievements while also offering a glimpse into his private life. It highlights his relationship with his wife, Rama Rajamouli, who has been a cornerstone of his career as a costume designer. Rama’s candid revelation about being a divorcee with a child and the familial dynamics, including Rajamouli’s son Karthikeya’s memories of referring to Rajamouli as “uncle” during his childhood, provide a deeper understanding of the man behind the camera.
Additionally, the film sheds light on the financial struggles faced by Rajamouli’s family, with Keeravani and Vijayendra Prasad discussing their past difficulties with debt and how Rajamouli navigated these challenges. This uncharacteristic transparency, contrasting with the typical reticence of many industry figures, has garnered Rajamouli and his family newfound admiration and respect.
