Filmmaker SS Rajamouli's father and screenwriter-director KV Vijayendra Prasad attended the 53rd edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa on Monday. He gave a masterclass on the art of film writing at the ongoing event. The filmmaker confirmed that he is working on the script of 'RRR's sequel and also mentioned what encourages him to write such successful stories.
Talking about 'RRR's sequel, he said he has 'cracked the sequel’s premise'.
Talking about his writing process, he said, 'I don’t write stories, I steal stories. Stories are there around you, be it epics like Mahabharat, Ramayan or real life incidences, there are stories everywhere. You need to represent it in your unique style.'
He also mentioned what makes him write such stories, and said, 'The pursuit to create hunger among audience for your story kicks off creativity within you. I always try to create hunger within audience for my story and characters and that drives me to create something unique and appealing.'
'You have to create something out of nothing. You have to present a lie, which looks like the truth. A person who can tell a good lie can be a good storyteller, be your own harshest critic which can take your work to unscalable heights.' he concluded.
He has written the scripts for many box-office hits, and critically acclaimed movies like 'RRR' and 'Baahubali' among others.
