Responding to the praiseful tweet, the official page of 'RRR' retweeted the post and wished him the best on his birthday and tweeted, "Happy Happy Birthday Scott!! Thanks for all the love for RRR. Glad you all enjoyed the movie."
Derrickson replied, "Thank you so much! The movie is amaaaaaazing!!"
‘Doctor Strange’ screenwriter also praised ‘RRR’
Not only is 'Doctor Strange's' director, but also its screenwriter, Jon Spaihts, a fan of Ram Charan and NTR's starrer. Taking to Twitter, Spaihts earlier expressed his love for the film. "Holy hell, RRR. Has any movie ever packed more movie into a movie? What a ride. Still thinking about it a couple days later (sic)," he wrote. "From the Screenwriter of Dune, Doctor Strange and Passengers!! Thank you so much!!" the official 'RRR' handle responded to Spaihts' tweet.
It does not stop here. Celebrated Hollywood director-writer Aaron Stewart Ahn earlier this week shared a desire to pen down a story for Ram Charan, adding that the actor should do some international projects. In his tweet, Aaron said, "Would love to write a movie for a movie star like Ram Charan, just to work with such a great actor and cinematic presence. But if he works in international productions, he must be the lead! Hollywood usually doesn’t get that. I’m here for more great Indian movies."
Aaron is best known for films such as Mandy (2018), Cabinet of Curiosities (2022) and The Witcher: Blood Origin (2022).
