“I also believe this is the most inspiring story I have done in my life. Not just me, my dad saw a part of it and said, ‘Ram, for anybody to get a film like this, it normally takes a decade.’ Every year, we cannot have a Magadheera or RRR. It takes a while. He said, ‘Please relish every moment of this because you are not going to get a movie like this again,’” said Ram Charan.
He added, “So when Magadheera happened, then Rangasthalam and RRR, it took ten years. But luckily, thoda jaldi aa gaya ye film. So, good films don’t come very easily, and this is one of those films I want to keep in my library forever.”
