SS Karthikeya, the son of renowned filmmaker SS Rajamouli, has been steadily carving out his own niche in the Indian film industry. Initially contributing as a second unit director to his father’s projects, Karthikeya has expanded his role to encompass production and distribution.
Having successfully produced the Telugu film “Premalu,” Karthikeya has partnered with Arka Media Works, the production house behind his father’s blockbuster “Baahubali,” to produce two films starring acclaimed actor Fahadh Faasil, titled “Don’t Trouble The Trouble” and “Oxygen.” These ventures mark a significant step forward in Karthikeya’s production career.
Demonstrating his entrepreneurial spirit, Karthikeya has further ventured into film distribution by acquiring the Karnataka theatrical rights for the highly anticipated pan-Indian film “Devara,” starring Jr NTR. This collaborative effort with KVN Productions positions Karthikeya as a key player in the film’s release in the Karnataka market.
With “Devara” slated for release on September 27th, the success of the film is crucial for Karthikeya’s growing influence in the industry. His involvement in various aspects of filmmaking, from production and distribution to strategic partnerships, showcases his ambition and determination to build a successful career in his own right.
Karthikeya’s journey in the film industry is closely watched by audiences and industry insiders alike, as he strives to establish his own identity while leveraging the legacy of his father, SS Rajamouli.
