Deva Katta is known as the director of films like Prasthanam. These days, he isn’t being heard much in the realm of cinema, but suddenly he’s associated with a magnum opus of Indian cinema that is currently in the making. Yes, not as a director, but as the dialogue writer.
However, this didn’t happen out of the blue. He has a track record and a consistent relationship with Rajamouli, which likely helped him land this role.
Rajamouli's films may have a permanent music director, but he doesn’t have a permanent dialogue writer. He collaborates with various writers.
For Baahubali, he worked with two young writers, while director Deva Katta also lent a hand. Later, the same Deva Katta contributed to the Baahubali OTT series.
Rajamouli has also worked with Burra Sai Madhav. While Rajamouli doesn’t necessarily need powerful dialogues throughout his films, the right dialogue at the right moments is crucial.
For his upcoming film with Mahesh Babu, Rajamouli chose Deva Katta as the dialogue writer, and Deva Katta provided the entire dialogue version.
Deva Katta is not only a talented director, but he is also a skilled dialogue writer. His films are known for their emotional depth and meaningful conversations.
While Rajamouli’s upcoming forest adventure with Mahesh Babu doesn’t require heavy, emotional dialogues, Deva Katta’s strong grasp of English literature may have been a deciding factor in his selection for the role.
