Rajamouli Reveals Mahesh Babu’s Lord Rama Look
Rajamouli was so taken by Mahesh’s appearance that he saved the Rama look as his phone wallpaper, only to remove it later to avoid any premature leaks. The director went on to reveal that the Rama episode is one of the most ambitious and emotionally rich segments of the film. The team spent nearly sixty days shooting this portion, crafting multiple sub-episodes that explore diverse emotions, pivotal moments, and the spiritual depth of the story.
“Each and every day felt special,” Rajamouli recalled. “The devotion, the detailing, and the care poured into every frame made the whole experience unforgettable. For me, this segment stands as one of the most beautiful sequences I have ever created.”
He further added that this depiction of Rama will undoubtedly become a milestone in Mahesh Babu’s cinematic journey. Rajamouli’s excitement and pride in the way he has presented the superstar was evident throughout his speech at the event.
For quite some time, discussions have been circulating about the possibility of seeing Mahesh Babu portray Sri Krishna on screen. However, in an unexpected creative shift, director S.S. Rajamouli revealed that he has envisioned the superstar as Lord Sri Rama—a revelation he officially confirmed at the Varanasi event held earlier today. This announcement has instantly become one of the most talked-about and memorable highlights of the project.
Rajamouli shared that from the very first day of the photoshoot, Mahesh Babu’s transformation into Lord Rama left a lasting impact.
“I always believed Mahesh would be perfect as Krishna because of his natural charm and lively energy. But the moment he appeared in the Rama look, everything changed. His serene expression, composed stance, and the purity he brought into the frame were truly remarkable,” the director said.
Rajamouli said he was so mesmerized by Mahesh Babu’s look that he immediately saved it as his phone’s wallpaper. “I later removed it because I didn’t want anyone to get even a glimpse before the official reveal,” he added with a smile.
Speaking about the film’s grand Rama episode, he revealed that it was one of the most ambitious segments ever conceived for the project. The team shot the sequence for nearly sixty days, crafting multiple sub-episodes that delve into a wide range of emotions and pivotal moments from the epic.
“Every single day on that set felt divine,” Rajamouli shared. “The dedication, the detailing, the devotion — everything came together in a way that made the entire segment feel magical. To me, this remains one of the most beautiful and unforgettable portions I have ever created.”
He also expressed confidence that the Rama episode will stand out as a milestone in Mahesh Babu’s career. Rajamouli’s pride and joy in how he was able to present the star were clearly evident in the way he spoke.
