Cameron, who watched RRR twice, further said, "When I saw it for the first time, I watched it alone. I didn't know what to expect, I was astonished. Not just with the bravery of the physical style of the film and very good use of VFX but also the storytelling. There is a classicism to the storytelling that's almost Shakespearean."
Speaking about Ram Charan's character in the film, Cameron said, "The journey that you go on, especially with understanding Ram's character who's very challenging for two-thirds of the movie and then you finally understand what's going on in his head and it's heartbreaking. I just think it's a triumph."
