"We were there to shoot some important scenes for 'RRR'. It is a beautiful country and at the time of the shoot, I had no idea about these issues. Only after I came back, did I now understand the seriousness," he told IANS.

"I kept on inquiring about the well-being of the people who had worked for 'RRR' while we shot there in Ukraine. Some of them are fine, and some, I need to still get in touch with," the director further said.
