Receiving recognition for his blockbuster film–RRR, the filmmaker gave a special speech, thanking his family. He further remembered the joy on the audiences’ faces during the film’s release.

Besides the special appreciation that the filmmaker received for his film, what we also loved was his choice of kurta and dhoti to the prestigious awards night. Much like celebrities like–Alia Bhatt, and Deepika Padukone, who chose to represent India in classic Indian attire, Rajamouli’s sartorial choice won him some extra points from fans, who lauded the filmmaker for his simplicity.

The director was further joined by wife–Rama Rajamouli to the awards ceremony, who also chose to wear a classic saree to represent India. While the recognition itself feels special, and full of joy for fans back at home, what makes it look even more special is when celebrities take a piece of India with them when receiving the honour. Previously, many actors appeared for special screening of their films wearing ethnic attires, like a saree, or a version of a kurta.
