"That's one of the greatest compliments that I can receive."
Indian filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli has
become an award season standout
with his three-hour long action film 'RRR'
(S.S. Rajamouli, Director)
"We set out to make the movie for the audience, for them to love it, for them to experience the movie. But of course, once that is done, you really look at critical acclaim because that gives the entire cast and crew a pat on the back. A kind of, how do you say, inspiration to get back to work and work harder and work better, better. So, that means a lot."
'RRR' tells the story of the
Indian freedom struggle
from the British and
the Nizam of Hyderabad
So far the film has been nominated
for two Golden Globes
There's also a campaign to get it
nominated for an Academy Award
