“Not Baahubali, but ‘Makkhi’ is S. S. Rajamouli’s Favorite Film – Here’s Why!”

according to the  http://www.pinkvilla.com

S. S. Rajamouli, the celebrated director behind grand action-packed blockbusters like Baahubali, RRR, and Magadheera, is often expected to favor one of these mega hits as his personal favorite. However, to everyone’s surprise, his favorite film is not one of his high-budget action spectacles, but the much simpler and unique film – Makkhi!

S. S. Rajamouli has delivered several successful films including Baahubali, Baahubali 2, RRR, Magadheera, Chatrapathi, Vikramarkudu, and Makkhi. Yet, in interviews, he has openly stated that Makkhi (originally Eega in Telugu) remains closest to his heart as a director. This film, he says, was a very special project for him.

Why is ‘Makkhi’ so special to him?

S. S. Rajamouli once shared that someone had criticized him, claiming his films succeed only because of big star casts. Taking that as a challenge, he decided to make a film without any major stars—driven purely by story. That idea led to Eega, later dubbed Makkhi in Hindi.

The film follows the unusual story of a young man who is killed by a villain and is reincarnated as a housefly. He then sets out to take revenge on the villain. This imaginative and original concept captured audiences’ attention. Despite having no big stars, the performances by Nani, Kiccha Sudeep, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, combined with Rajamouli’s stellar direction, made the film a huge success.

Simplicity Meets Brilliance

Unlike his other films, Makkhi didn’t rely on heavy action sequences. Instead, it featured a strong, creative, and emotionally engaging storyline. It was made on a modest budget, yet it performed brilliantly at the box office. Now, more than 10 years since its release, Makkhi still holds a special place in Rajamouli’s heart.

Rajamouli’s Upcoming Mega-Budget Project

Currently, S. S. Rajamouli is working on his next ambitious film, SSMB 29. It’s a jungle adventure drama starring South superstar Mahesh Babu in the lead, with Priyanka Mohan as the female lead. The film is being mounted on a grand scale and will be shot across India and international locations. It will also feature top-tier international technicians and artists. Like Baahubali and RRR, this film too will be packed with powerful action sequences and high production value.
