Rajamouli was joined by wife Rama Rajamouli. At the red carpet, Ram Charan said it was a surreal moment for the film`s team to receive two Golden Globes nominations. “I have no words to explain all the hard work the whole team has put in. Coming from the south of India to the Mecca of films and being appreciated, it just gives us more energy to come back and do better films,” he told entertainment news outlet The Hollywood Reporter The 37-year-old actor said he would love to work with one of the top directors of Hollywood.
“I want them to experience us and the world coming together. The cinema is coming together. There`s a lot of downside to the pandemic, but the upside is that we all have been exposed to a lot of films across the globe,” Ram Charan added. Jr NTR said the massive success of “RRR” was something that the team never expected. “With Rajamouli, taking his track record into consideration, we definitely thought we had a winner. But this will be something more than a winner just a winner. Japan and today America, you don`t expect this to happen,” the 39-year-old actor told entertainment news website Variety. “RRR” follows a pre-Independence fictional story woven around two real-life Indian revolutionaries – Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem – in the 1920s. It also stars Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn in key roles. Released theatrically last March, “RRR” raised reported earnings of over Rs 1,200 crore at the global box office.
