SS Rajamouli’s favorite young actress – not who you expect

SS Rajamouli is one of India’s top directors. From Baahubali to RRR, his films are not just blockbusters — they are cinema milestones. Many big stars dream of working with him. Some even wait for years, hoping to get a role in his movie. But recently, Rajamouli surprised everyone by revealing his admiration for a young actress. And no, it’s not one of the usual big names.

In an interview, Rajamouli shared that he is a big fan of a young actress named Annie. She played a child artist in the movie Rajanna, starring Nagarjuna. Not many people know this, but Rajanna was directed by Rajamouli’s father Vijayendra Prasad, while the action scenes were directed by Rajamouli himself.

Rajamouli praised Annie’s acting skills, especially in one emotional scene from Rajanna. He said even grown-up actors would find that scene tough, but Annie performed it with ease. He was especially impressed by how she expressed deep emotions just through her eyes — something not every actor can do.

Today, Annie is no longer a child. She has grown up and is now trying her luck in films and web series as a lead actress. She believes that with the right chance, she can prove herself again, this time as a heroine.

For a director like Rajamouli to praise a young artist is a big deal. It shows that true talent never goes unnoticed. Annie may not be a household name yet, but she’s already left a strong impression on one of India’s most respected filmmakers.

Who knows? Maybe in the future, we’ll see her again in a Rajamouli film — not as a child artist this time, but as a leading lady.
