"but there are many more films to come. I surely hope and wish that all of the films are good, that all of the films earn money, and that all of the films excite and delight the audience. This is a period when we can't claim that my picture must succeed while theirs must fail. This is the time for all of us to unite and say, believe, and feel that all films should be profitable."

The way I operate is to see a large number of audience members sitting inside a cinema hall to experience a film. So, the decision was very easy for me, there was no dilemma in that.” RRR starring Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn, and Alia Bhatt has received an AU certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film is scheduled to release in theatres around the world on January 7.
