Writer Vijayendra Prasad, the mastermind behind the blockbusters of master storyteller Rajamouli, has shared some interesting details about RRR in a recent interview. Ram Charan donned Alluri Seetharamaraju getup in the climax, but the North audience misunderstood Charan as Lord Ram.
Regarding the same, Vijayendra Prasad said, “There are two things that we should consider here. Firstly North audiences assuming Ram Charan as Lord Ram went in favor of the film. We never intended to showcase Ram Charan as Lord Ram in RRR. We wanted to portray Allu Seetharamaraju. The name Ram is a part of Seetharamaraju, and also, he is a devotee of Lord Ram.”
Vijayendra Prasad continued, “The audience in the Hindi belt felt as if Lord Ram had come right before them. We never had that thought during the scripting stage. It was a mere coincidence. It was not done intentionally. Why would we think like that?”
Though it happened coincidentally, it helped the movie earn huge bucks in Hindi. Also, Charan got solid acclaim from the North audience, who believed he portrayed Lord Ram. Whenever there is a discussion regarding who should play Lord Ram on screen, North audiences are preferring Charan, and that’s the impact of RRR climax.
