As mentioned earlier, the craze of RRR travelled over oceans and reached every corner of the world making it a global blockbuster. Marvel's Doctor Strange writer C. Robert Cargill was bowled over by the cinematic excellence of the SS Rajamouli magnum opus. 

Taking to his Twitter, he had written, ''I'm here to report I am now fully, truly, deeply a member. This is the craziest, most sincere, weirdest blockbuster I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure Jess and I are watching it again this week.''

Similarly, Captain America writer Jackson Lanzing revealed that he had the 'best time' he has ever had in the movies. 

SS Rajamouli created magic by building the Baahubali franchise. Fans have been wondering if he would treat them the same by creating an RRR franchise. In an interview with PTI, the director had quenched the curiosity by stating, ''Let it cool down. Of course, for me it would be a great pleasure, not because of what it’ll do at the box office, but because I will have more time to spend with my brothers. That’ll be more exciting for me. But let time unravel what we have.''
