Before Russia invaded Ukraine, the team of SS Rajamouli's RRR flew to Kyiv to shoot for the hit dance number Naatu Naatu which is making waves all over the nation. Sadly, Kyiv is now a war zone.?
Ram Charan has recently revealed that he is in touch with Rusty, who was in charge of his security there. The situation, he says, is getting worse day by day. Rusty keeps sending him videos that leave him shattered.?
"He sent me ground-level videos, which have not been seen in any of the television coverage. They were dreadful," Charan told Variety.?
Rusty is fighting for his country. Ram Charan is helping him not only financially but also emotionally.?
"Ram Charan was here to shoot for his movie and I worked as his bodyguard during his stay in our country. He called me as soon as the war broke out. I did mention about my wife's sickness and lack of medicines," he said.?
He added, "You can't engineer a pan-India film. Those films that have actually travelled across India are the ones that were rooted and made for one market. If you try to do a 'pan-India' film, try to appeal to all audiences for different markets, it will not belong anywhere. So, you make your film as rooted as it can be, tell the story of that land and mount it bigger, cast it differently and maybe put in a few familiar faces from different markets. I get all of that but I don't think you should lose the sensibilities or the culture of that particular story."??
