Last year, SS Rajamouli and MM Keeravaani met James Cameron at the Critics’ Choice Awards 2023. During the event, Cameron spoke about how he saw the movie RRR twice. He also discussed Rajamouli’s use of Keeravaani’s music. Cameron praised RRR saying, “And the setup… Your fire, water story. Reveal after 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.”

On top of that, Cameron told Rajamouli, “If you ever wanna make a movie over here, let’s talk.”
