In the Telugu film industry, Koratala Siva is currently the undisputed star director after SS Rajamouli. The director attained popularity as a writer with films like Bhadra, Vrindavan, and Sinha. In 2013, Kortala Siva entered the direction with Mirchi, starring Prabhas and Anushka Shetty. The action drama was a successful outing.

Prabha’s The Rebel, which came in 2012 after his classic films like Darling (2010) and No 1 Mr Perfect (2011), was disappointing. The film did not do well at the box office. After delivering The Rebel, Prabhas was in dire need of a blockbuster hit. And, with Mirchi, the actor proved his mettle again.
Mirchi, at the time, grossed a record collection with super positive talk since day one of its release. The result was a profit of over Rs 17 crore for the distributors. The iconic film went on to earn several accolades.
