Rajamouli’s Son Plans Different from His Dad

Venturing himself into film production, SS Rajamouli’s son Karthikeya, who has last worked on Baahubali as an assistant director, is now a proud man. Because his team has completed their recent venture in record time.

Ashwin Gangaraju, son of noted producer-director Gunnam Gangaraju, is now turning to the direction. Like his debut, he is carving ‘Aakashavani’ with an all-new cast except Tamil actor (also director) Samuthirakani. Starting their shoot in most challenging locations and climatic conditions, Ashwin and Karthikeya managed to complete 90% of the film shooting in 50 days of time.

This is surely a surprise because Karthikeya worked with dad Rajamouli for years, who is known for taking double the time than stipulated schedules to wrap a film. There are times where he shot 5 hours of scenes for a film that was supposed to be 2.5 hours length film. And then, shooting times just get extended like how he takes months and years to complete a project. But then, it looks like Karthikeya isn’t not like any lavish producer his father worked with.

And then, one has to appreciate the talents of Ashwin Gangaraju as well, for managing to pull such a feat in a lesser number of days.
