Gaining so much popularity and being praised by million, unfortunately, the film has irked some from the UK for showing Britishers in poor light. Recently, after the RRR screening in the US Rajamouli addressed a Q&A session and said despite showing the British in poor light the film is doing well in the UK.
He said, “At the beginning of the film you see the disclaimer card. Even if you miss it, it’s not a history lesson. It’s a story. The audience in general understands it. If a British is playing the villain, they understand that I am not saying all the Britishers are villains. If my heroes are Indians, they understand that all Indians are heroes.”
He further added, “In this film, a particular guy is a villain and a particular guy is a hero. They automatically understand. They may not be knowledgeable about everything but their emotional intelligence is very high. Once we understand that as a storyteller, we don’t have to worry about other peripheral things.”
