Director SS Rajamouli's film 'RRR' won the Best Song and Best Foreign Language Film at the Critics Choice Awards in Los Angeles at the Golden Globes 2023. The popular filmmaker was in for a surprise when he met legendary Hollywood director James Cameron at the awards and learnt that he enjoyed his film.
While SS Rajamouli and music composer MM Keeravani had shared about their interaction with the 'Avatar' director, the 'RRR' team has now shared a video of the full conversation they had with James Cameron.
An excited Rajamouli said James Cameron, "I saw all your movies. Big inspiration from Terminator to Avatar, Titanic and everything. I loved your work."
Hollywood director James Cameron responded saying, "Thank you. Now watching you characters, it's just like such a feeling to watch them. And your setup, fire, water, story. Reveal after reveal, and then you show what happened in the back story, it's like all of then are homely setup. Why he's doing and what he's doing, and the twists and turns and the friendships. And eventually it gets to the point where he can't kill him when the other reverses. It's just so powerful and I loved the fact that you just threw the whole thing. It's just full show. I loved that."
"These words from you are more than an award for me. I mean, I can't believe that you saw the film and you're analysing my film. Oh my god!
James Cameron's wife reveals that her husband has seen it twice and says, "He watch it first time all by himself and then he was like baby, you gotta see this. And the whole time, he was trying to tell me that. I was like, be quiet! Shhh shhh shhh."
SS Rajamouli revealed that he shot the film for 320 days. James Cameron further spoke about MM Keeravani's music in the film and said, "The score, it's kinda amazing because I like the music to kind of stay out of the way and kinda come in and support when the audience is already feeling something so it builds the theme. But you're using the music very differently. There are moments in the film where I just had to get up"
"But the thing I can only imagine, what it must be like to be Indian and to see your film. Because of all the hurt, the oppresion and everything, and how that must feel, and the pride, your home audience must feel. And I'm sure this is a bonus round for you. You must feel just on the top of the world," added James Cameron.
"If you ever wanna make a movie over here, let's talk," concluded James Cameron.
