‘Everybody in West trying to reach out to Rajamouli. He’s the perfect director for a DC or a Marvel film': Anurag Kashyap

Director SS Rajamouli has taken Indian cinema to new global heights with his film RRR (2022). Fronted by Jr NTR and Ram Charan, the film has been creating waves across the globe ever since it hit the marquee in March last year.

After doing thunderous business at the ticket window and receiving an unprecedented response on Netflix, the film created history when it won the prestigious Golden Globes Award for its highly energetic chart-busting song “Naatu Naatu.”


It added one more victory by winning the Critics Choice Awards at the recently held ceremony in Los Angeles. The song “Naatu Naatu” has also been shortlisted for the Oscars 2023, scheduled to take place in March 2023.

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is one of the biggest fans of the film and has never shied away from praising RRR and SS Rajamouli. In a recent interaction with News18, the director said that the film is rooted and this is what makes it successful.

“Movies from down South are still grounded and they still look like Indian films,” he said. “RRR is all about its storytelling and for the global audience, “Naatu Naatu” is a visually incredible song because it’s rooted.”

At the Critics Choice Award, veteran Hollywood director James Cameron was seen having a conversation with Rajamouli and praised RRR endlessly. Kashyap feels that Rajamouli is the 'perfect director' to make films for Marvel and DC. “Everybody in the West is trying to reach out to Rajamouli now. He’s the kind of filmmaker who can make a massive difference. He’s like the perfect director for a DC or a Marvel film. Conversations about collaborations between India and the West have been going on for a very long time. But with SS Rajamouli, it wouldn’t be a collaboration. What will happen is that they will steal him from us,” he added.

Is Trump's 100% tariff on foreign films a smart move to save Hollywood or a blockbuster blunder?

In a surprising new move, Donald Trump has announced that the United States will impose a 100% tariff on all films made outside the country. According to Trump, this strong step is necessary to revive what he calls a rapidly declining American film industry. He blames foreign governments for luring away Hollywood productions with attractive financial incentives and claims this shift is a national security concern, tied to foreign “messaging and propaganda.”

Trump made the announcement via his social media platform, stating he has directed the Commerce Department and the US Trade Representative to start the process immediately. “We want movies made in America, again!” he declared.

Lorde’s comeback album ‘Virgin’ drops 27 June after raw remix with Charli XCX

Lorde’s new album Virgin is finally on its way, and the journey behind it has been more personal than polished. For the New Zealand singer, known for her poetic introspection and moody soundscapes, it took more than time. It took an unexpected collaboration with Charli XCX to break through her own emotional wall.

Back in 2023, Charli released Brat, an album that didn’t just rack up awards but started conversations. One track, Girl, so confusing, subtly unpacked Charli’s own complicated feelings about Lorde. Rather than take offence, Lorde leaned in. She offered to jump on a remix and, in doing so, cracked open parts of herself she’d been avoiding.

Hrithik Roshan becomes Bollywood’s richest star kid with £290 million fortune

He’s not the most outspoken, nor does he court controversy the way others might, but when it comes to wealth, Hrithik Roshan is quietly sitting at the top. With a reported net worth of £290 million (₹3,100 crore), the actor has outpaced Bollywood veterans like Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt and far exceeds the fortune of younger star kids like Aryan Khan.

Born into a film family, his father, Rakesh Roshan, is a producer-director, and his grandfather, J. Om Prakash, was also in the industry, Hrithik started young. He was a child actor in the 1980s, long before his blockbuster debut in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000), which made him an overnight sensation. But the real story behind his wealth isn’t just his films; it's everything he built around them.
