Ep823: 3 Questions with RRR Director S.S. RAJAMOULI!
Ian's Tollywood dreams come true as he talks with RRR writer/director S.S. Rajamouli!
During a recent virtual press round table, Ian asked the visionary creator of 2022's best film three questions. Doesn't sound like a lot--but Rajamouli's answers offer insight into the process, spirit, and heart of a moviemaking powerhouse.
Special thanks to all the fans of the worldwide fans of Indian cinema who have not only broadened our horizons as appreciators of film, but also inspired Kicking the Seat's newest monthly livestream review series!
And if you're in Chicago tomorrow (11/12/22) for the Music Box Theatre's sold-out screening of RRR (after which Mr. Rajamouli will participate in a not-to-miss Q&A), be sure to say "Hi" to whichever of Earth's Mightiest Critics you spot in the crowd!
If you haven't seen RRR yet, stream it on Netflix IMMEDIATELY (or whenever you have a spare 3 hours and 7 minutes). No spoilers in this interview, but context is key.
Bonus! Check out Don Shanahan’s segment from the round table, in which he asks S.S. Rajamouli about his next project!
Enjoy!
