SS Rajamouli's RRR can’t stop making waves abroad. After winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Song (Naatu Naatu), RRR bagged two awards at the Critics Choice Awards which took place at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles on January 15. Rajamouli attended the event where he met Avatar helmer, James Cameron.
Rajamouli took to his Twitter handle today to share a couple of pictures with the ace filmmaker and revealed that James liked the film so much that he watched it twice. He also added that he could not believe that the director spent 10 minutes analysing his film. In one of the snaps shared by Rajamouli, he can be seen chatting candidly with James while the Titanic director's wife watches them. In the second image, they appeared to be having an in-depth talk.
“The great James Cameron watched RRR.. He liked it so much that he recommended to his wife Suzy and watched it again with her. Sir, I still cannot believe you spent a whole 10 minutes with us analyzing our movie. As you said I AM ON TOP OF THE WORLD... Thank you both (sic),” Rajamouli tweeted.
Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt also took to Instagram to share her reaction when she learned about James liking the film. She shared a tweet by RRR’s official handle which read, “James Cameron admires RRR” in her Instagram stories. “Uffff what a beautiful morning,” She wrote along with a screenshot of the tweet.
