== Personal life ==
Rajamouli married [[Rama Rajamouli]] in 2001. Rama has worked as a [[costume designer]] for many of Rajamouli's films. He has adopted Karthikeya, Rama's son from her previous marriage. The couple also has an adopted daughter.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Kavirayani|first=Suresh|url=https://www.pressreader.com/india/deccan-chronicle/20140211/281998965351797|title=We are Family|date=11 February 2014|work=Deccan Chronicle|access-date=11 May 2021|via=Pressreader}}</ref> Karthikeya is married to Pooja Prasad, niece of Telugu actor [[Jagapathi Babu]].<ref>{{Cite web|last3=Ist|date=28 December 2018|title=Baahubali director SS Rajamouli's son Karthikeya to marry Pooja Prasad in Jaipur|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/regional-cinema/story/baahubali-director-ss-rajamouli-s-son-karthikeya-to-marry-pooja-prasad-in-jaipur-1418924-2018-12-28|access-date=2020-12-04|website=India Today|language=en}}</ref>
 
In April 2017, Rajamouli said that he is an agnostic. He considers [[Bhakti]], in terms of subservience to a higher power, as a strong emotion, and he uses it as a storytelling element in his films.<ref name="atheist">{{Cite news|date=27 April 2017|title=SS Rajamouli on Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, being an atheist and his love for cinema|work=Firstpost|url=http://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/ss-rajamouli-on-baahubali-2-the-conclusion-being-an-atheist-and-his-love-for-cinema-3408524.html|access-date=1 May 2017}}</ref> In May 2017, Rajamouli visited [[Mantralayam]] along with his family and prayed to village deity Manchalamma and [[Raghavendra Swamy]] for their blessings. Speaking on the occasion, Rajamouli said that he was so elated that his films are well received by the audience and wished that the blessings of Sri Raghavendra Swamy be always showered upon him.<ref>{{cite news|date=16 May 2017|title=Rajamouli visits Mantralayam|publisher=The Hans India|url=https://www.thehansindia.com/posts/index/Andhra-Pradesh/2017-05-16/Rajamouli-visits-Mantralayam/300383}}</ref>
 
== Directorial style ==
 
=== Themes ===
Rajamouli's films have themes often related to [[fantasy]] and [[Hindu mythology]]. He frequently admits that his films are inspired by [[Ramayana]] and [[Mahabharata]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Adivi|first=Sashidhar|date=2017-08-03|title=SS Rajamouli's epic inspiration|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/tollywood/030817/ss-rajamoulis-epic-inspiration-1.html|access-date=2021-09-23|website=Deccan Chronicle|language=en}}</ref> The idea of [[reincarnation]] is first used in ''[[Magadheera]]'', following that it was next seen in ''[[Eega]]''. Devarsi Ghosh of ''[[India Today]]'' observed and said that "the themes of a [[Orphan|orphaned hero]], a secret [[backstory]], a separated family and a [[protagonist]] in search of his/her origins were so prominent in Rajamouli's films."<ref>{{Cite web|last1=DelhiApril 25|first1=Devarsi Ghosh New|last2=April 25|first2=2017UPDATED|last3=Ist|first3=2017 15:34|title=How Baahubali's themes are tied to SS Rajamouli's entire filmography|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/baahubali-2-full-coverage/story/baahubali-2-the-conclusion-ss-rajamouli-eega-magadheera-973408-2017-04-25|access-date=2021-07-12|website=[[India Today]]|language=en}}</ref>
