During the Filmmakers Adda 2022, when directors were asked what is the secret of making a successful film, SS Rajamouli said that understanding the audience and building a connection with them is necessary, getting too comfortable with the audience or assuming them will never help.
“There is no secret formula I believe two things I would say is having connect with the audience and not getting too comfortable. If you get too comfortable, you will get too complacent, if your film is doing good business at the time of announcement then you tend to get more complacent.”
Rajamouli’s last release RRR (2022) was a huge box-office success. The film stars N.T Rama Rao Jr., Ram Charan Teja, Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Saran among others.
