Following a confrontation, the hero rescues the girl, and NTR finds himself embroiled in a murder investigation. Rajamouli weaves in plot twists to keep the audience captivated throughout the movie.
Simhadri
Rajamouli delivered a massive hit with Simhadri, starring NTR. In this film, villain Rahul Dev plays the role of a womanizer.

The director incorporates humorous interactions between characters to provide moments of levity.
Chatrapathi
In “Chatrapathi,” Shafi’s character stands out with his distinct traits. After Shafi acts inappropriately towards Prabhas’ sister on a bus, Prabhas intervenes, striking him and giving him a stern lesson. Later, it is unveiled that the two characters are, in fact, siblings. By incorporating such unexpected twists, director Rajamouli keeps the audience thoroughly engaged in the film.
Vikramarkudu
In “Vikramarkudu,” Amit Tiwari plays the role of a lecherous villain, Bauji’s son. He abducts a woman he fancies from the village and attempts to rape her. Ravi Teja arrests him, and in just one scene, director Rajamouli introduces the power of Vikram Rathod to the audience. This scene can be considered a major turning point in the film.
Magadheera
In “Magadheera,” Rajamouli also highlights lust as a primary motive. Ranadev Billa is attracted to Mitravinda. In reincarnation also Ranadev’s lecherous character continues to pursue Kajal. He persistently exhibits his desire for her. By portraying the villain’s character in an unlikable manner, Rajamouli elevates the hero’s character. The movie’s box office success as a blockbuster is well-known.
