RRR, a movie by director SS Rajamouli, continues to generate headlines for all the right reasons. Following its victory at the 2023 Golden Globes, RRR won the Best Foreign Language Film prize at the 2023 Critics’ Choice Awards. James Cameron, the director of Avatar: The Way Of Water, introduced Rajamouli to him at the awards ceremony and told him to tell his wife about RRR. Their interaction is captured beautifully in a viral video clip.
During the conversation, Cameron told Rajamouli “If you ever want to make a movie over here, let’s talk.” The clip was shared on the official handle of the RRR movie. He was heard telling Rajamouli, “And the setup… Your fire, water story. Reveal after the reveal. And then you show what happened in the back story. It’s like all of them are a homely setup. Why he’s doing what he’s doing and the twists and turns and the friendship and eventually it gets to a point that where he can’t even kill him when the other reverses…It’s just so, so powerful.” Additionally, Cameron had watched RRR twice, according to his wife.
The soundtrack of “Naatu Naatu” by MM Keeravani was commended by the director of Avatar: The Way of Water. He said, “And you composed, right? Because I saw you at the Golden Globes. The score, it’s kind of amazing. Because I like the music to kind of stay out of the way and kind of come on in and support when the audience is already feeling something so it builds the theme. But you are using the music very differently.”
‘Best Song was awarded to “Naatu Naatu.” The honour was accepted by M.M. Keeravani. The movie has already generated buzz for the 2023 Academy Awards because it was nominated in 15 categories. The Academy Awards 2023 have shortlisted RRR’s “Naatu Naatu” for Best Original Song.
