With Telegu film "Sye" opening to a good response, young director Rajamouli has scored a hat-trick of hits after "Student No.1" and "Simhadri".

"We were quite confident about the script," declared the director, who claims to have been inspired by "Escape to Victory".

While his previous hits had cashed in on star appeal, "Sye", with its story woven around the game of rugby, has scored because of the script.

The industry is waiting eagerly for his next venture.
