Trending: RRR Director SS Rajamouli To Foreign Media - "Back In India, I Am The Dictator"

SS Rajamouli's RRR has been winning awards on several international platforms

SS Rajamouli is a name that the world is familiar with today. The director's last cinematic offering RRR is taking the world by storm and how! The film has won several international accolades including a Golden Globe award and two Critics' Choice awards. In a recent interaction with Entertainment Weekly, the filmmaker was asked if he was open to working in Hollywood. To this, Rajamouli said, “I think it is the dream of every filmmaker across the world to make a film in Hollywood. I am no different. I'm open to experimentation." But there was a caveat – "Back in India, I am the dictator. No one tells me how to make a film. Very probably, my first step will be collaborating with someone," Rajamouli said.  

He added that the “unusual amount of creative power” he enjoyed in India was causing him a "bit of confusion” about directing in a new landscape like Hollywood.

Recently, SS Rajamouli was also seen on Late Night With Seth Meyers. While on the show, he spoke about the response to RRR globally. SS Rajamouli revealed, “The fans will be tearing up newspapers all through the night, making huge bags of confetti, and they come to the theatre. The moment the actor's name is displayed or the actors come in or they anticipate their favourite star is coming onto the screen, all the confetti will be thrown into the air. You won't see the picture, and they will be laughing and shouting so loudly, you can't hear the sound.” He added, “The projector operator, who is not supposed to meddle with the sound, will be increasing the DB of the sound but still you can't hear anything."
