The global sensation RRR needs no introduction, especially after its Oscar winning song "Naatu Naatu" captivated audiences worldwide. As Avatar 3: Fire and Ash gears up for its December 19 release, SS Rajamouli connected with Hollywood maestro James Cameron for a special video interview, delighting fans with their insightful exchange.

One highlight was Cameron’s curiosity about Rajamouli’s upcoming film Varanasi, starring Mahesh Babu. The director even expressed a desire to visit the set! Rajamouli responded warmly, calling it a "great pride" for the Telugu film industry. Cameron also said that he will shoot some shots handling camera himself for Varanasi. He also thanked Cameron for an exclusive early screening of Avatar 3, praising the filmmaker’s generosity.

Cameron, directing Avatar: Fire and Ash, urged theaters to screen the 3 hour 17 minute film without cuts, maximizing its impact. Buzz suggests the movie’s release might include teasers for other blockbusters like Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, Rajamouli’s Varanasi, Avengers: Doomsday, and Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey, adding to the excitement. On Generative AI in cinema, Cameron voiced concerns, calling it "dangerous" if it compromises creativity. He praised Rajamouli’s unique vision, emphasizing that true innovation can’t be replicated by tech alone. 

Rajamouli, in turn, gushed about Avatar, saying, "I was like a child in the theatre," marveling at Cameron’s blend of spectacle and emotion. The conversation offered a rare glimpse into these cinematic icons’ minds, discussing storytelling, creativity, and the nerves of releasing a global hit.
