SS Rajamouli attends RRR screening in Japan, posts about a special fan encounter

Filmmaker SS Rajamouli was in Japan recently to attend a special screening of his 2022 movie RRR, on Monday. The Ram Charan-NTR Jr starrer, which was first released 2 years ago, received massive box office success in many other countries, including Japan. 

Taking to his X page, Rajamouli posted about a special encounter with an 83-year-old fan of his work. The RRR director posted, “In Japan, they make origami cranes & gift them to their loved ones for good luck & health. This 83-year-old woman made 1000 of them to bless us because RRR made her happy. She just sent the gift and was waiting outside in the cold. Some gestures can never be repaid. Just grateful.”

RRR released in Japan only in October 2013, nearly 7 months after the original release. However, the film continues to be screened at many theatres across the island nation. The show, which Rajamouli attended on Monday, was sold out in less than a minute.
