South Indian cinema has a dedicated fanbase in Japan. Over the years, superstar Rajinikanth‘s films have got a lot of appreciation in the country, and in many instances, a few of them have come down to India to watch the first day, first shows of his film with the local audience. It appears that SS Rajamouli and his films, RRR being a prime example, have followed in Rajini’s footsteps.
The entire team of RRR is receiving a lot of love in the country. Rajamouli, NTR Jr and Ram Charan are in the country to promote RRR, which is releasing in the country on October 21. While earlier Ram Charan and his wife Upasana were seen dining with Japanese fans, now Jr NTR has received a warm welcome in the hotel where he is staying. In a video that has gone viral on social media, he was greeted at the hotel with a note penned by many members of the staff of the hotel.
Looking at the numerous wishes on the card, Jr NTR can be heard saying, “Oh my God, there are so many people..”
