SS Rajamouli kept flies in a fridge while filming Makkhi? Jr NTR makes shocking revelation

The cast of RRR was recently on The Kapil Sharma Show taking about their upcoming mega film. Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt and director SS Rajamouli graced the couch of Kapil Sharma’s comedy show, and during their interactions, Jr NTR, who plays Komaram Bheem in the film, made a shocking revelation about SS Rajamouli.

For the unversed, before Baahubali brought SS Rajamouli immense fame, making him a household name across the world, he was best known in North India for a film called Makkhi – the Hindi dubbed version of his 2012 Telugu film Eega. Now, Jr NTR has revealed a surprising fact related to the film. Apparently, the director would keep flies in his fridge to study them while filming Makkhi.

“When you opened the fridge, there were more flies than food,” he joked. When a bemused Kapil asked the reason behind this, Ram Charan elaborated, “He was hibernating them so that he could study them properly. This was when he was making Makkhi.” Rajamouli, on his part, simply smiled and nodded in agreement.

Turns out files go into hibernation when temperatures drop and Rajamouli was taking advantage of this to study them in order to make sure that his depiction of the fly in the film was absolutely correct.

Kapil, on his part, hearing this said, “Aap sab ko band kar dete ho (You lock everyone up). When you made Makkhi, you locked the flies up in the fridge. When you made Baahubali, you locked up Prabhas in Film City for five years.”

During the course of the interaction Rajamouli also revealed that his driver thought he was mad to make Makkhi , and even told him he should forget flies and cockroaches and instead make films on humans.

Meanwhile, SS Rajamouli’s next film, which was slated for release on January 7 has become the second cinema to get postponed after Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey, due to the rising Omicron cases in the country.
