From his debut film Student No. 1 to blockbusters like Simhadri, Chatrapathi, Vikramarkudu, Magadheera, Eega, and RRR, there’s one actor who has consistently appeared in Rajamouli's films – Chatrapathi Sekhar. Out of the 12 films Rajamouli has directed, Sekhar has played key roles in 9 of them. Known as Chatrapathi Sekhar after his role in the film Chatrapathi alongside Prabhas, he has become a familiar face in Rajamouli’s cinematic universe.
But why is Sekhar a regular in Rajamouli's movies? It all started when Rajamouli was directing the TV serial Shanti Nivasam, where he first met Sekhar. Despite their long association, Sekhar never asked for roles directly. Rajamouli, however, has always offered him roles, not out of obligation, but to support him as an actor. Sekhar himself has shared that he never knows his role or even the film until Rajamouli calls him after the movie begins. This enduring friendship, which started from a TV serial, showcases the value Rajamouli places on loyalty and friendship, earning him the admiration of netizens.
