Ace filmmaker SS Rajamouli has shared a post as a 110-year-old Japanese Takarazuka company adapted his blockbuster ‘RRR’ as a Broadway play. Rajamouli posted pictures and videos to X as he attended the event. In the first video, the audience clapped inside the theatre as he expressed his gratitude with folded hands. He also waved at everyone. The actors were seen on stage smiling, clapping and greeting the crowd with folded hands.
The second clip showed Rajamouli exiting the venue as people gave him a standing ovation. A picture showed Rajamouli with the actors. All of them wore white outfits, while Rajamouli was seen in a blue kurta and a colourful shawl on his shoulder. Sharing the post, he captioned it, “It’s an honour that our RRR has been adapted as a musical by the 110-year-old Takarazuka company. Thank you Japanese audience for embracing the Broadway play of RRR just like the film itself.”
He added, "Overwhelmed by your response... Can't appreciate all the girls enough for your energy, talent, and meticulousness in the show. ARIGATO GOZAIMASU.” Reacting to the post, a fan said, "@ssrajamouli sir, it's such a great thing that Japanese people also like Indian films, and it's made us proud. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for that, and love you." A comment read, "Such an honour." A person tweeted, "Amazing what a reach RRR has! Congratulations!”
‘RRR’ followed a pre-independence fictional story woven around two real-life Indian revolutionaries — Alluri Sitarama Raju (Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Jr NTR) — in the 1920s. The film raised over ₹1,200 crore at the global box office and went on to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song for its track ‘Naatu Naatu.’
