A special screening of the SS Rajamouli-directed magnum opus RRR was held on 18th March 2024 in Japan. The film was screened in Japan on popular demand and opened to a tremendous response from the audience. 

Director SS Rajamouli is currently in Japan, having attended the screening of the film with his Japanese fans. Upon his arrival, he received a warm welcome from the ever-so-hospitable Japanese folk. From stuffed toys to personalized gifts, fans of SS Rajamouli and RRR made sure to express their love for the film.

But one gesture from a fan really stood out, as Rajamouli pointed out in his post on X (formerly Twitter), “Some gestures can never be repaid. Just grateful.”

In his tweet, Rajamouli referred to an 83-year-old Japanese grandma, whose loving gesture struck a deep chord with the star director. Explaining his interaction with the grandma, Rajamouli wrote, “In Japan, they make origami cranes and gift them to their loved ones for good luck and health. This 83-year-old woman made 1000 of them to bless us because RRR made her happy. She just sent the gift and was waiting outside in the cold (tears of joy emoji).
