On the popular talk show, SS Rajamouli addressed how the initial appreciation from the west appeared to him as just NRIs were watching RRR.

He said on Meyer¡¯s show, ¡°Exciting is an understatement. We are on top of the world. I essentially make films for Indians in India and across the globe. When we started getting appreciation from the west, our initial thought was that ¡®These guys must be the friends of our Indians who went to watch the film¡¯."

"Then as it started increasing when celebrities, story writers, film directors started tweeting about it, talking about it on social media. They started championing the film by word of mouth. We thought, ¡®Okay, this is growing much more'. Then it released on Netflix and it was on the top 10 list for 15 consecutive weeks. It released in Japan, it's still running in Japan. It is the highest-grossing Indian film ever in Japan. Oh my God," he added.
