In a shocking turn of events, Uppalapati Srinivasa Rao, a film producer who claims to be a close friend of SS Rajamouli, has accused the renowned director of harassment in a viral suicide video. Rao, who has allegedly known Rajamouli since the 1990s, made distressing claims about their three-decade-long friendship and a love triangle that led to their fallout.
The suicide video, which has surfaced all over the internet, has sent shockwaves through the film industry. However, Bollyo does not confirm the authenticity of the video, and there is no response from SS Rajamouli yet regarding these allegations.
What Did Srinivasa Rao Say in His Video?
In the now-viral video, Srinivasa Rao stated:
“Today, I am committing suicide because of Rajamouli. We have been friends for over 30 years, even before he entered the film industry. We both loved the same girl, leading to a situation like the film ‘Arya 2.’ I wanted all three of us to be together, but Rajamouli said society would never accept that and asked me to sacrifice my love. Since we were just starting our careers, I agreed and let go of my love for him.”
Rao further claimed that Rajamouli, now a celebrated filmmaker, later began harassing him after suspecting that he had shared this story with someone.

“I told him I wanted to make a movie based on our story, and from that moment, he began torturing me,” said Rao in his video.
The Fallout: A Friendship Turned Sour?
In his video, Rao states that he lost contact with people he considered family, including Rajamouli’s sons Simha, Kala Bhairava, and Kartikeya, whom he knew since they were children. He attributes this isolation to the dispute with Rajamouli. He states that he is 54 years old and alone.
In his final message, Srinivasa Rao offered unexpected advice to young men, urging them to focus on their careers and ignore women. His statement has sparked mixed reactions online, with some expressing sympathy while others question the authenticity of his claims.
No Evidence Against SS Rajamouli?
Despite making serious allegations against SS Rajamouli, Srinivasa Rao admitted in his video that he has no proof to support his claims. However, he urged the director to take a lie detector test to reveal the truth.
“I don’t have any proof regarding this. But Rajamouli should undergo a lie detector test to know what happened between us,” he stated.

As of now, SS Rajamouli has not issued any statement regarding these allegations. The film industry, media, and fans are eagerly waiting for his response. Given his stature as one of India’s most celebrated directors, this controversy could have significant implications.
