SS Rajamouli, the renowned filmmaker behind the colossal hit ‘RRR,’ has unveiled his next ambitious project as a presenter – ‘Made in India.’ This upcoming venture, directed by National Award-winning director Nitin Kakkar and produced by Varun Gupta and SS Karthikeya under Max Studios and Showing Business production banners, respectively, promises to be a captivating biographical tale.
A Tribute to the Father of Indian Cinema ‘Made in India’ will delve into the life and legacy of Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, famously known as Dadasaheb Phalke, the visionary behind the inception and ascent of Indian cinema. This biographical gem will narrate the story of the birth and growth of Indian cinema, paying homage to the man who earned the title of the Father of Indian Cinema.
Dadasaheb Phalke’s groundbreaking journey in the world of cinema commenced with ‘Raja Harishchandra,’ the first Indian movie released in 1913, marking a significant milestone in Indian cinematic history.
Rajamouli’s Global Vision with ‘Made in India’ What sets ‘Made in India’ apart is its global aspirations, evident from the fact that the project’s announcement initially appeared on Deadline, an international news outlet. Rajamouli, with his extensive experience and global recognition following ‘RRR,’ understands the dynamics of the international market. The mantra here is to be local while aiming to conquer the global stage.
Touted as a grand production, ‘Made in India’ has already generated significant buzz, thanks to Rajamouli’s involvement. While casting details are yet to be finalized, industry experts anticipate that this project will resonate with global audiences due to its compelling narrative and Rajamouli’s association.
Industry Experts Weigh In Trade experts have greeted this announcement with enthusiasm, recognizing its significance. Akshaye Rathi, a trade expert, expressed his sentiments, saying, “This is a glorious step to take up after RRR, but this time as a presenter. I truly think we, as Indians, are celebrating what is great about our own traditions and culture, instead of looking down on it, which was the case sometime back.”
Taran Adarsh, another industry expert, echoed similar sentiments, stating, “It is a mind-boggling announcement. It is a most auspicious day to announce it. Rajamouli today is a global name, and I am sure that with his name being attached to the project, it will be great. A quality product is expected, and this film will definitely appeal to the global audience.”
Regarding casting, Rathi believes that while a big star could enhance the film, the script’s narrative is paramount. He added, “To have someone who has global appeal and impact would be an added benefit, but again, Rajamouli has that appeal and traction with a global audience that even without a big star, the film will still have an impact.”
Adarsh, however, noted that casting decisions would depend on how the director and writer envision telling this captivating tale.
Further details about ‘Made in India’ remain shrouded in mystery, leaving cinephiles eagerly awaiting more updates.
