SS Rajamouli And Son Karthikeya Experience Earthquake In Japan, 'I Was Just About To Panic'

Director SS Rajamouli, alongside his son Karthikeya and producer Shobu Yarlagadda, encountered a nerve-wracking incident during their stay in Japan.

New Delhi: Director SS Rajamouli, alongside his son Karthikeya and producer Shobu Yarlagadda, encountered a nerve-wracking incident during their stay in Japan. The trio had embarked on a trip to Japan for a special screening of their 2022 film RRR. Their visit primarily focused on engaging with fans and divulging insights about their upcoming project with Mahesh Babu.

Karthikeya took to his X account to share a snapshot of his watch displaying an emergency alert signaling an earthquake. He recounted the experience, stating, “Felt a freaking earthquake in Japan just now!!! Was on the 28th floor and slowly the ground started to move and took us a while to realise it was an earthquake. I was just about to panic but all the Japanese around did not budge as if it just started to rain!! Experience an earthquake box ticked.”

 

Underneath Karthikeya's post, numerous fans expressed relief at their safety. One fan wrote, “I'm glad you're safe! You must have been surprised by the strong shaking. Earthquakes may continue, so please be careful. Enjoy your stay!” While another commented, “It was a bit of a big earthquake! I was worried if you all were scared…(The upper floors of buildings are designed to escape shaking, and they sway more than the ground level.) Fortunately, it did not seem to be a dangerous earthquake. Rest assured and enjoy your day.”

Following the special screening of RRR, Rajamouli shared heartwarming pictures of himself and his wife Rama embracing an 83-year-old fan. He expressed his gratitude, writing, “In Japan, they make origami cranes & gift them to their loved ones for good luck & health. This 83 yr old woman made 1000 of them to bless us because RRR made her happy. Some gestures can never be repaid. Just grateful.” He showcased the cranes along with a heartfelt note from the fan.

 

Rajamouli is gearing up to commence filming an adventure drama with Mahesh Babu, currently in pre-production with the casting underway. Meanwhile, Karthikeya has ventured into production, having signed two films with Fahadh Faasil titled Don’t Trouble The Trouble and Oxygen. Rajamouli recently extended his best wishes to Karthikeya and Shobu for these projects, sharing posters of both films on X.
