Within a fortnight of its theatrical release, SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus, ‘RRR’ entered the 1000 crore club, thus becoming the only Indian director to make worldwide box office history, back to back, previously with ‘Baahubali 2’.
According to sources, the Hindi version of RRR has collected Rs 238.09 crores and the film has already become the third highest grossing Indian film worldwide, beating Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
‘RRR’ featuring Junior NTR and Ram Charan in the lead, is a fictional period drama revolving around two Indian freedom fighters from the early 20th century. The film made the audience spellbound for its making and incorporation of VFX.
Rajamouli says, “The biggest want of a storyteller is to have the maximum number of listeners to listen to his story. I’m grateful, humbled and overwhelmed that I have not just one but two such films that received the kind of reception they did and entered the 1000 crore club. The success of both ‘Baahubali 2’ and ‘RRR’ has reiterated that a film based on human emotions can cut geographical boundaries and translate beyond the language.”
SS Rajamouli has set a benchmark in the Indian Cinema’s history. The filmmaker has proved to be a master at Indian superheroes, Indian mythologies and Indian historical.
