Rajamouli is in the eyes of the highest Hollywood media publications, thanks to the tremendous success of RRR in the west. The star director has now interacted with the New Yorker and here’s what he had to say about the same. 

“When I wrote “RRR,” I wanted to show a shift in the tone of Bheem’s character. He’s an innocent person until this moment. But then we thought a song would be nice. That’s how people in Telangana, the region where Bheem’s from, express their emotions. And I remembered “Braveheart.” Rajamouli said during his interaction with The New Yorker. 

About how he started his journey as a filmmaker, Rajamouli said “ I was a college dropout and was basically doing nothing at home. My father was worried that I was wasting my time, and he constantly said to me, “What do you want to do with your life? You can’t idle your time away.” 

“So, to escape from my father’s wrath and constant questioning, I said, “I want to become a director.” I had absolutely no idea what a director does, let alone what qualifications you need to become one.”

Rajamouli vows to stay in touch with Hollywood media more often now. His interaction with The New Yorker is now going viral on social media.
