SS Rajamouli goes on a road trip to explore temples in Tamil Nadu: ‘This home land tour has been refreshing and uplifting’

Rajamouli posted a video collage of his pictures from the trip, which he completed last month. “Wanted to do a road trip in central Tamilnadu for a long time. Thanks to my daughter who wanted to visit temples, we embarked upon it. Had been to Srirangam, Darasuram, Brihadeeswarar koil, Rameshwaram, Kanadukathan, Thoothukudi and Madurai in the last week of June. Could only touch the tip of the iceberg in the given few days. Exquisite architecture, amazing engineering and deep spiritual thought of pandyas, chozhas Nayakkars and many other rulers was truly mesmerizing,” he wrote in the caption.

The filmmaker said he ate such “marvelous” food that he put on nearly three kilos within a week. But he looks back at the road trip as a rewarding experience, especially after his whirlwind US tour.

“Whether the fine dining in Mantrakoodam, Kumbakonam or a kaka hotel murugan mess in rameshwaram the food has been marvelous everywhere… I must have put on 2-3 kilos in a week. After 3 months of foreign travel and food, this home land tour has been refreshing and uplifting,” he added.

The video ended with the message, “Exploring central Tamil Nadu’s rich heritage and divine tranquility was soul stirring.”

Post the global success of RRR, SS Rajamouli is expected to begin his new project with Mahesh Babu soon. The film is billed as an “African jungle adventure” movie.
