Rajamouli Shot Most Violent Scene in Kerala
3 Oct
Summary
- Director Rajamouli filmed 'Simhadri's' intense action scene near Kerala Assembly.
- The scene, featuring Jr NTR, was considered the director's most violent.
- 'Simhadri' released in 2003, is an orphan's story protecting his landlord's granddaughter.
Filmmaker SS Rajamouli, celebrated for his epic storytelling, reminisced about filming a particularly intense sequence for his second directorial venture, 'Simhadri,' starring Jr NTR. This highly violent action scene was notably shot in front of the Kerala Assembly, a location Rajamouli recalled as being part of a ten-day filming schedule.
During a recent promotional event, Rajamouli and his son, SS Karthikeya, discussed the 'Simhadri' shoot. Karthikeya suggested this scene was the most violent Rajamouli had ever filmed, a sentiment the director agreed with. The choice of Trivandrum as a filming location was driven by the narrative requirement for the hero to travel outside Andhra Pradesh.
The Kerala portions were crucial for establishing the identity of Simhadri's alter ego, Singamalai, adding depth to the 2003 film. 'Simhadri' itself is a tale about an orphan raised by a landlord, tasked with protecting the landlord's estranged granddaughter, Indu.
