SS Rajamouli's magnum opus RRR is going places and we mean literally. The film is all set to release in Japan in October this year. The makers of the film shared the big news in an Instagram post that read: "Delighted to announce that RRR movie is releasing in Japan on 21st Oct, 2022. #RRRinJapan." RRR, set in the 1920's, is a "fictitious story based on two legendary freedom fighters - Alluri Seetharamaraju and Komaram Bheem." It boasts of an impressive cast which included Ram Charan and Jr NTR in lead roles. It also starred Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, Olivia Morris, Samuthirakani, Alison Doody, Ray Stevenson.

Earlier this month, the film got a huge shout out from Dune and Doctor Strange screenwriter Jon Spaihts. "Holy hell, RRR. Has any movie ever packed more movie into a movie? What a ride. Still thinking about it a couple days later," he tweeted.
The film opened to largely positive reviews from film critics and needless to say, an overwhelming response from the audience, both in India and across the globe.
RRR was SS Rajamouli's first project after the 2017 blockbuster Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which was a massive success as well. The film released across the globe in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam simultaneously. The film's release dates were pushed multiple times due to the pandemic and the lockdowns. Almost two months after its theatrical release, the film began streaming on Netflix. According to the OTT giant, RRR (Hindi) became "the most popular Indian film on Netflix around the world" in June.
