Comparing the success of RRR with that of The Kashmir Files, Ram Gopal Varma said, "RRR is not a gamechanger and according to me, I don¡¯t think it can bring about a change. It is a film that is produced on a lavish scale. And RRR is a kind of film that comes once in four or five years. To mount a film on such a scale, you need a director with a great track record ¨C someone like Rajamouli."
