Rajamouli made a surprising appearance in the Japanese video game Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, created by famous game designer Hideo Kojima.
Rajamouli plays The Adventurer while his son Karthikeya, who works as a line producer on his films plays the Adventurer’s Son.
The game was released globally on June 26th for PlayStation 5. Some fans who got early access noticed their cameo and quickly shared screenshots and videos on social media which went viral.
Kojima is known for making visually rich games with good storytelling. Back in April he had a virtual meeting with Rajamouli and Karthikeya and shared a photo from the call on Twitter which Karthikeya also reposted.
Rajamouli is currently taking a break and preparing for the next schedule of SSMB29, an adventurous film starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, set in a forest backdrop.
