He further added that they never thought of such things when they shot for the film and expressed his gratitude towards people for celebrating RRR. “It is not our film, it is not our song, it is the people’s song and they have owned the song across the globe. They have brought the song and the film to this carpet.”

Talking about the sequel, Ram Charan said that he would be the happiest if it happens. “I would love it. I have heard my director talk about it in many interviews. And if it happens, they will crack it and nail it again.”
