With Late Night with Seth Meyers, SS Rajamouli will make his US talk show debut. On January 9, the filmmaker will appear as a guest on the American comedian’s show. The second guest on the episode will be the actor Alison Williams. Before the Golden Globes celebration on January 10 and the forthcoming Oscar nominations later this month, Rajamouli is promoting his Telugu film RRR in the US.
Film critic J Hurtado, who has helped screen RRR at various theatres in North America, confirmed the filmmaker’s appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. He wrote on Twitter, “Can’t make it to the @ChineseTheatres screening of #RRRMovie tomorrow? Don’t worry, #SSRajamouli will be guesting on @LateNightSeth so you can still get your SSR fix! Someone record it for us!” Reacting to the news, one Indian fan commented, “Unbelievable! (red heart emoji) The whole US will know about RRR.”
Rajamouli will be present for a sold-out showing of the movie on Monday at the Chinese Theatres, along with Ram Charan and Jr. NTR. One of the largest IMAX theatres in the entire globe, it. The group will then go to the Golden Globes on Tuesday at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. At the 80th edition of the awards ceremony, the Telugu movie is nominated in two categories: Best Foreign Film and Best Original Song for the popular song Naatu Naatu.
In preparation for the Golden Globes on Tuesday, Rajamouli participated in a special symposium for the nominees of non-English language films on Sunday. While the other category nominees, filmmakers Edward Berger, Lukas Dhont, and Santiago Mitre, were virtually present, he was joined at the ceremony by Decision To Leave director Park Chan-wook. At the occasion, he discussed the ideas that led him to make RRR, a movie with two heroes.
