The director of an action-packed international sensation tries to explain its success

RRR‘s worldwide rounds across cinemas and Netflix queues had to be one of the happiest accidents of the year. Following in the footsteps of Squid Game as a thinly-marketed release that somehow managed to blow up via word of mouth, the Tollywood musical action film rightfully shot for the stars and managed to hit quite a few, landing three nominations for the upcoming Saturn Awards in categories for Best Action/Adventure Film, Best International Film, and Best Director.

S.S. Rajamouli, the mastermind behind the camera and the film’s screenplay, was among those who were caught off guard by the film’s meteoric rise in popularity, but, in an interview with Empire, the director/screenwriter soon offered up plenty of plausible explanations for the development, ranging from the pandemic’s side effect of broadening the content horizons of audiences to the simple fact that RRR is just a damn good movie.
