SS Rajamouli has spoken to Rediff.com. The celebrated filmmaker sounds positive about the situation in the wake of COVID-19 and says that this is no time to keep worrying.

As evidenced by the First Look video of 'RRR', NTR is water and Ram Charan is fire (metaphorically) in the movie. Does that mean they are enemies in the story? "Fire and Water are the two opposing elements. One can destroy the other. But if they come together and create steam, the force generated can run the motor of the world," reasons Rajamouli, suggesting that the two big stars are going to see a collaboration against the British in the much-awaited 8 January 2021 release.

Rajamouli acknowledges that the NTR-Cherry duo comes from "traditionally rival film families". However, since they are close friends in real life, it was easy for him to bring them on board. "They didn't even take a minute to say yes," the 'Baahubali' director says.

Ajay Devgn exudes "honesty and integrity" and that's why he is part of 'RRR', says Rajamouli.

What about his next film? "As usual, I don't plan anything until I finish one project," Rajamouli says without elaborating on the rumour that he might team up with Mahesh Babu or Prabhas.
