Summary

"RRR" has become a global phenomenon, setting box office records and crossing over to the United States in a major way by capturing the imagination of audiences and winning awards in the process. Recent New York Film Critics Circle winner and Critics Choice Award nominee for Best Director, S.S. Rajamouli, was kind enough to spend some time talking with Dan Bayer about his work on the film. Afterward, I had the chance to speak with the film's star Ram Charan about his character Alluri Sitarama Raju, working with Rajamouli, and whether he and co-star N. T. Rama Rao Jr. will perform at the Oscars if "Naatu Naatu" is nominated for Best Original Song. Please take a listen and enjoy! Thank you!   Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
