Everyone knows how important it is to get a good education and be graduated in order to pursue a career and make it big in life. But there are few others who turned the tables. With passion, talent and hard work they have overcome their lack of education rose to fame in their chosen field. Despite being high school dropouts, there are many notable people including entrepreneurs, filmmakers and politicians who have made it really big in their respective fields. Bill Gates once said that he was high school dropout. Later he owned a million dollar company and the classmates who were studious ended up working in his company. Sachin Tendulkar hasn’t gone to secondary schooling and he is a legend. In the celluloid world, legendary actor Akkineni Nageswar Rao barely had his school education. Kamal Haasan, too, is a dropout and he is a superstar now in Tinseltown. Rajamouli is the latest to join the elite list.
As Baahubali is all set to hit screens on July 10, while movie buffs and fans are being gung-ho over it, media houses are not left behind. Visual and print media both have been going gaga for quite some. Few international reporting agencies too have caught with it as the movie is said to be India’s most expensive feature film ever made. This Sunday (July 5) Rajamouli was interviewed by BBC Radio Asian Network. In a candid chitchat the director was answering the RJ’s queries about the inception of the movie to the buzz that it gathered.
The director kept replying in his usual calm while the RJ was sounding so hyper. Seemingly curious out of his wit, she asked him whether he was a graduate. Rajamouli says he is a high school dropout having completed only intermediate. The RJ doesn’t leave it over there, she asks him whether he regrets not doing graduation. ”Not really,” he quips. So, Rajamouli joins the elite club of geniuses, who are high school dropout!
