Helmed by SS Rajamouli, the film has received an overwhelming response from some of the best creative people working in Hollywood.

During the interaction, Rajamouli said he found it unexpected to see his film grow to become the most watched Indian movie on Netflix, “Yes, I was surprised with the reception from the West," says the director, who appeared virtually for the Netflix-arranged conversation.

He continued, “A good story is a good story for everyone, but I didn't think I could make films for Western sensibilities. I never believed myself. So, when it came out on Netflix and people started watching it, and word of mouth started spreading, when the critics started giving out good reviews, yes, I was really, really surprised.”

RRR, which hit theatres on March 24, 2022, stars Jr NTR and Ram Charan in lead roles while Bollywood stars Ajay Devgn and Alia Bhatt appear in guest appearances. Made on a humongous budget of ₹300 crores The film opened to packed houses and went on to clock more than ₹11,000 crores globally.

After the Netflix interaction, Russo Brothers called SS Rajamouli the great as they tweeted, “Such an honor getting to meet THE great S.S. Rajamouli…” The director replied, “The honour and pleasure are mine. It was a great interaction. Looking forward to meeting and learning a bit of your craft.”

'Squid Game' season 3 teaser reveals a deadly new game and the return of Player 456

The first look at Squid Game’s final season is here, and it’s anything but subtle. Netflix dropped the teaser for season 3 on 6 May, confirming the show’s return on 27 June, and the short clip already has fans bracing for impact. The teaser doesn’t just reintroduce the deadly games, it throws viewers back into the chaos with new dangers, high emotions and unsettling surprises.

Charli XCX to star in and produce new horror film by 'Audition' director Takashi Miike

Charli XCX is shifting gears once again, but this time into the twisted world of cult Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike. The British pop star will both star in and produce Miike’s upcoming feature, her second project under her newly launched production company, Studio365.

Known for pushing limits in cinema, Miike has built a reputation over the last three decades for his dark, genre-bending films like Audition (1999) and Ichi the Killer (2001). While the title and plot of this new collaboration haven’t been made public, Miike’s signature style mix of horror and shock suggests audiences should expect something intense. The script is being written by Ross Evans, with Yumiko Aoyagi co-writing. Evans is also behind How to Save a Marriage, which is in development with Robert Pattinson as producer.

Geraldine Viswanathan steals the spotlight in Marvel’s 'Thunderbolts' after Ayo Edebiri's exit

Geraldine Viswanathan’s path to Thunderbolts didn’t start with a blockbuster audition or a lifelong dream to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It began with oddball comedy gigs, local theatre, and stand-up sets at uni bars. From small parts in quirky Australian productions to sharing the screen with John Cena in Blockers, Viswanathan quietly built her Hollywood résumé until Marvel called.

When the offer for Thunderbolts came, she wasn’t gunning for the spotlight. In fact, she got the call while sick in bed. Director Jake Schreier pitched her the role of Mel, a sharp, loyal assistant to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s scheming Valentina Fontaine. It was a role vacated by Ayo Edebiri, and Viswanathan stepped in with zero superhero baggage.
