Hailing from a family of movie makers, Babu was fascinated with films such as ''The Great Escape'', ''Guns of Navarone'' and ''The Bridge on the River Kwai.'' He believes that cinema should go near the audience.<ref>[http://www.supergoodmovies.com/9615/sandalwood/S-V-Rajendra-Singh-Babu-Director-Excellence-Exclusives-Details" His view on cinema]</ref> |
