S.S. Rajamouli gives his nod to two projects. Get all the deets here!

Acclaimed filmmaker SS Rajamouli, who became an international force to reckon with after directing Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion, has given his nod to two films.

Post the phenomenal success of Baahubali film series, the majority of people were thinking that the director will direct another epic historical fiction drama, but it seems that Rajamouli is in a mood to try something different in his next. According to reports, his next will be a social-drama film.


In an interview to Variety, Rajamouli said that he will first direct a film for producer Danayya. Reportedly, the director had promised to work with Danayya even before making Baahubali. So, to honour his commitment, he will first helm a film for the producer.

Talking further about the project, Rajamouli said, "I don’t know which language it is going to be in and who is going to be in the cast, yet. I have committed to Danayya and that will be my next."

After completing this untitled film for Danayya, Rajamouli will join forces with Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu for his next project. This film will be produced by K.L. Narayana and will mount floors in 2019.

Amazon’s ‘God of War’ reset proves Hollywood can’t get video game adaptations right

Highlights

  • Dave Bautista is taking over as Kratos after Ryan Hurst's injury forced Amazon to recast the role.
  • The series is effectively starting again, with none of the footage from the original production being used.
  • The major reset puts fresh pressure on Amazon's attempt to adapt one of gaming's most recognisable franchises.

Hollywood's relationship with video game adaptations has changed considerably in recent years. Shows such as The Last of Us and Fallout have demonstrated that games can translate successfully to television when their characters and worlds are treated with care. Amazon's God of War, however, has already encountered a production setback that makes its journey to the screen considerably more complicated.

Dave Bautista has closed his deal to play Kratos in the Prime Video series after Ryan Hurst, who was originally cast in the role, suffered a serious on-set injury. Hurst reportedly tore his bicep while performing a stunt in June, around four months into filming. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television subsequently decided to recast the central role.
