Wherever we see ‘RRR’ news coming out, it is all about Rajamouli & team. This Telugu cinema made by this elite director has not just won accolades but bagged a lot of international awards including the Golden Globe and the prestigious Oscar. While all of this is great, the movie’s producer DVV Danayya who spent over 400 crores is nowhere to be seen. He took care of the entire business in India but he is out of the picture as soon as the film started to get international recognition.
Rajamouli and his family are enjoying all the credit and they are not even mentioning the name of Danayya. As we know, it is Rajamouli & Co who handled all the foreign campaign for the film and the ‘RRR’ producer is not involved in any of it. Despite that, many feel that a producer who is responsible to making Rajamouli’s vision come to life should get some kind of recognition.
But he is being ignored by the film industry folks as well. Recently, the Writers Association, Film Chamber, Music Association, Director’s Association, Producers’ Council, MAA and FNCC organized a congratulatory meeting at Shilpakala Vedika and Danayya was nowhere to be seen in this event. Interestingly, choreographer Prem Rakshit master who blew away everyone with his composition of dance steps in the song was absent as well. Apart from these two, Rahul Sipligunj who sang the Oscar-winning song was not seen either.
While composer MM Keeravani and lyricist Chandrabose were felicitated, the senior composer gave a lot of credit to Ramoji Rao which left everyone puzzled. On the other hand, Rana Daggubati claimed that his grandfather Rama Naidu always knew that a Telugu film would win Oscar one day and attributed the credit to the late legendary producer. Also, MAA President Manchu Vishnu was not seen at the event which left a lot of question marks.
Bigwigs like Paruchuri Gopala Krishna decided to not mention NTR, Charan, Prem Rakshith, Rahul Sipligunj and others who had a significant contribution to the song but only heaped praises on Rajamouli, Keeravani, Chandrabose, Vijayendra Prasad and Sai Madhav Burra in his speech.
