To go to the first place, you have to pass the person who is in second place first. After that, you can go to the first place. Is Rajamouli now focused on that second place in Japan? If you look at the collection of the movie ‘RRR‘, it seems the same. In Japan, our country’s films, including South films, are well received. Not all movies get this kind of reception. So the movie ‘RRR’ is getting good response in recent times. This movie earned 185 million yen in 17 days.
But they say that Rajamouli’s thinking does not stop here. It is said that his vision is further ahead. They say that the collection of this movie should increase to a higher level and go to the top 2. If we look at the collections of our films in Japan…Rajinikanth’s ‘Muthu’ comes first place. The film grossed around 400 million yen. It is followed by Baahubali: The Conclusion. This movie earned 300 million yen. Now Rajamouli’s next target is ‘Baahubali 2’.
Rajamouli is looking to promote the movie ‘RRR’ more and bring down the second ‘Baahubali’ which was at the second position. After that, he thought that ‘Muthu’, which is in the first place, can be seen. Even if that chance doesn’t come now, they think they can see it in the next movie. Because Rajamouli’s next film is with Mahesh Babu. Because it is an adventure movie with a forest backdrop. I think it will be more popular in Japan.
Rajamouli also has another idea. That’s Oscar. Even though ‘RRR’ was not sent directly to Oscar from our country, this movie was nominated for some categories in the general category. For that, premieres are being held in America under the name of ‘Encore’. Now the Jakanna team thinks that the special release in Japan will also be useful.
