S.S. Rajamouliis the heir apparent to Cecil B. DeMille. His pop-action epics, with their massive set pieces and unabashed theatricality, are virtually unheard of even state-side, where films of this magnitude are shortened and reliant on an abundance of in-universe lore. Prior to RRR, Rajamouli had made a name for himself in the Indian cinema with the Baahubali duology. With The Epic, a director's edit which combines the previous entries into one behemoth of a Shakespearean opus, he might further cement himself in the global landscape as our greatest living master of spectacle.
