Rajamouli loosing the balance? - JustTollywood.com News



Sensational director SS Rajamouli is always the grabber of headlines. Either may be with his on going projects or with yet to start films, he always attracts media very easily.One such move from Rajamouli is his next two films ‘Eega’ and the untitled flick with Prabhas. Internal sources say that Rajamouli never in his career worked on two projects in parallel.What was that hurried reason behind to announce the 60crore mega project with Prabhas is yet to be known? When shooting of the film is to begin some time in September, why Rajamouli made the declaration so earlier even without finalization of basic storyline? Well wishers of Rajamouli are worried that, this kind of hasty situations may ruin the original spark in him. If Jakkanna is really working on two (or three, if Bollywood Magadheera is really on the navil), let us wish that he doesn’t loose the balance in his approach.

He might be Mega Power Star for Mega followers but he is still the very young hero dealing with abnormal craze that has become a dead block for his growth.Undoubtedly Ramcharan should have undergone severe mental agony after the loss of ‘Orange’ continued by stalling of ‘Merupu’ till the positive news on discussions about starting the next project with Sampath Nandi.Every where there was news about various directors and story writers approaching Ramcharan with numerous story lines but none getting finalized.
