S.S. Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’ gets over 1 mn footfalls in Japan

South hitmaker S. S. Rajamouli’s magnum opus ‘RRR’ has got over 1 million footfalls in Japan and is reportedly the first Indian film to do so in the country.

The Ram Charan and NTR Jr. led film was released in October last year. The official Twitter handle of RRR movie shared news about the movie getting 1 million footfalls in 164 days of its theatrical run.

An excited Rajamouli wrote: “Showered with 1 Million hugs from Japanese fans…Arigato Guzaimasu #RRRinJapan.”

‘RRR’ also stars Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt and Shriya Saran and tells the fictional story of two real-life Indian revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem and their fight against the British Raj.

It was in February, when the song ‘Naatu Naatu’ from ‘RRR’ was feted with the 95th Oscar award in the Original Song category. It also brought home a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award honour.
