RRR impresses Doctor Strange director: ‘Awesomely outrageous roller-coaster of a movie’
17 July, 2022
RRR is doing wonders in the US ever since it had its digital release on Netflix. And its ever increasing global fanbase includes many creative people from Hollywood too.
SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus RRR refuses to slow down internationally. Adding his name from the Marvel family into its list of growing fans is Hollywood filmmaker Scott Derrickson, known for directing Doctor Strange (2016), The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) and the critically acclaimed Ethan Hawke-starrer The Black Phone (2022).
Lauding the movie starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR, Scott Derrickson shared a gif from RRR on Twitter and wrote, “To celebrate my birthday last night, my wife, kids and I watched @RRRMovie — what an awesomely outrageous roller coaster of a movie. Loved it.” The official Twitter handle of DVV Entertainment requoted Derrickson and replied, “From the director of Doctor Strange. Thank you Scott :) #RRRMovie.”
Derrickson is the latest to appreciate the period drama, who’s been associated with the Marvel Studios’ creative team. Last week, Doctor Strange screenwriter Jon Spaihts couldn’t stop gushing after watching RRR.
