'Doctor Strange', 'Dune' writer Jon Spaihts heaps praise on 'RRR'

Screenwriter and author Jon Spaihts, who has famously penned the scripts for the 2016 superhero film Doctor Strange and Denis Villeneuve’s epic sci-fi movie Dune, is quite impressed with Indian filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s epic period drama RRR, which stars Telugu superstars Ram Charan and Jr NTR in the lead roles along with Bollywood actors Ajay Devgn and Alia Bhatt.

Jon took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the film. Showering praise, he tweeted with the film’s still: “Holy hell, RRR. Has any movie ever packed more movie into a movie? What a ride. Still thinking about it a couple days later (sic).”

Not just Jon, several known Hollywood celebs have been lauding the film for its content ever since it started streaming on Netflix. Earlier in June, Doctor Strange screenwriter C. Robert Cargill watched the movie and shared his review on Twitter. Cargill wrote: “Friends came over last night to initiate me into the cult of RRR (Rise, Roar, Revolt) and I’m here to report I am now fully, truly, deeply a member.” He also described RRR as “the craziest, most sincere, weirdest blockbuster I’ve ever seen”. Cargill added that he was quite certain that he was going to watch the movie once again with his partner. — IANS
