Nolan's Praise for RRR

In an interview, Nolan spoke about Indian actors and filmmakers not getting enough recognition on the global stage. He said that the old distribution model limited a country's films to its own borders. But now, those lines are blurring. For example, he said, if you take 'RRR', it broke into the American market.

The Credit Goes to Rajamouli

Nolan pointed out that America is a very big market for movie audiences, and RRR succeeded there. He also noted that many films are now playing all over the world. The credit for Telugu cinema reaching such heights goes to Rajamouli. It's not just Nolan; in the past, James Cameron and other Hollywood filmmakers have also praised Rajamouli.
