New Delhi: SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus ‘RRR’ is on a global roll and has fast become one of the most celebrated Indian films of all time. The film also captured the attention of Hollywood filmmaker James Cameron, who spoke to SS Rajamouli at length and was all praise for his vision and his genius storytelling.
In his conversation with SS Rajamouli, James Cameron said, “It’s just such a feeling to watch your characters. And your setup the fire, water, story, reveal after reveal, then moving on the backstory of why he’s doing what he’s doing, the twists and turns and friendship. It's just so powerful. And I love the fact that you just threw the whole thing out, it’s just the full show…I love that. I can only imagine the pride and power your country and your home audience feels…you must feel on top of the world.”
Apart from speaking highly about the film, which Cameron’s wife revealed he watched not once but twice, the ‘Avatar’ and ‘Titanic’ director also extended an invitation to collaborate with SS Rajamouli on an international film. Added James Cameron while the two iconic directors parted ways, “And one thing…if you ever want to make a movie over here, let’s talk.”
Rajamouli previously experienced a fanboy moment when he got to meet Steven Spielberg. The director of 'RRR' took to Twitter to share photos of himself with the iconic director. He captioned the photo, "I just met GOD!"
