RRR is Rajamouli’s third film to cross the Rs 100 crore mark on the box office and Junior NTR-Ram Charan’s first-ever century.

He also noted that RRR is the sixth film after The Kashmir Files, Sooryavanshi, 83: The Film, Pushpa and Gangubai Kathiawadi to cross the Rs 100 cr-mark in the post-pandemic times.
