SS Rajamouli is currently over the moon with the overwhelming response to his magnum opus RRR starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR. The ace filmmaker couldn't believe that his films will be loved by the overseas audience and can also relate to it. Before RRR, his Baahubali franchise too worked well in the west. Reacting to the craze, Rajamouli said that it took him by surprise.
"Never ever [had] I expected RRR to do well with the Western audiences. I didn't even have an inclination for that. When RRR released [in the West], I started getting the responses, I thought maybe there are a few. Then few became hundreds and hundreds became thousands and film people from different fields were talking highly of RRR, I realized something that I never knew about myself or my films. I am still trying to understand to be very honest," Rajamouli said at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
Talking about Baahubali franchise, Rajamouli said that being an Indian, they always make films for Indian who are living different parts of the world. However, the additional mileage that Baahubali received in Japan, surprised him to a great extent. While Rajamouli believed that his films could cross the state borders but he never thought his films will go beyond the borders of India. When Baahubali broke that barrier, the filmmaker thought 'maybe our sensibilities are similar.'
