Filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’, starring Ram Charan and Jr. NTR, has been acclaimed and loved by the audience ever since it released, 10 days back. This appreciation has also been translating into collections for the film and it is reaping gold at the box office.

According to reports, the film’s collection has crossed superstar Rajinikanth's 2.0's lifetime collection of Rs 800 crore (gross) at the box office and has also earned more than 'Gangubai Kathiawadi', 'The Kashmir Files' and 'Baahubali (Hindi)'. ‘RRR’ is touted to be the sixth highest-grossing Indian film.

So our rivalry is very positive,” he said. He added that after ‘RRR’, “the whole scenario has changed” and he and Charan are “best friends” now.
