Three years after the monumental success of RRR, director S.S. Rajamouli is offering fans a chance to revisit its magic through an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette. The newly released video dives into the making of the blockbuster, giving audiences a glimpse of the creativity and effort behind iconic moments like the viral Naatu Naatu sequence.

In the one-minute-fifty-second clip, Rajamouli is full of admiration for his leading stars, particularly NTR Jr., who portrayed the fierce and unforgettable Komaram Bheem. Praising the actor’s intensity and talent, the celebrated filmmaker remarked, "I felt like I was shooting with not one, but two tigers." His words draw a delightful parallel between NTR Jr.'s commanding screen presence and his fan-given title, Young Tiger.

The journey we cherish.
