Russo Brothers discuss RRR and The Gray Man after being “honoured to meet the great SS Rajamouli”

The Russo Brothers, Joe and Anthony, who directed Avengers: Endgame and The Gray Man, expressed their admiration for Indian director SS Rajamouli, known for blockbusters like Baahubali and RRR. The Russos tweeted about meeting the well-known director and referred to him as “great” while sharing their recent interview about the cinematic language. Rajamouli responded on Saturday, saying it was his “honour and pleasure.”

Russo Brothers recently spoke with Rajamouli about the universal language of the action genre, and they shared that conversation on Saturday. A few hours later, Rajamouli tweeted the Russos and said, “The honour and pleasure are mine..” They wrote, “Such an honour getting to meet THE great SS Rajamouli” (folded hands emoji). It was a wonderful exchange. I’m eager to meet you and gain some insight into your craft.

The conversation in question took place online, with the help of Entertainment Weekly, and the filmmakers discussed their most recent movies, RRR and The Gray Man. Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, and Dhanush make their Hollywood debuts in Russos’ recent film, The Gray Man. On July 22, the movie became available on Netflix. A sequel and spin-off have already been announced. The movie RRR, directed by Rajamouli and starring Jr. NTR and Ram Charan, was a huge hit, grossing about $1200 crore worldwide. Since it was made available digitally on Netflix, it has developed a cult following in the West.

The Russos recently visited India to promote The Gray Man. While there, they had the opportunity to mingle with several Indian celebrities, including Vicky Kaushal and the filmmakers Anand L Rai, Raj, and DK. RRR had previously received praise from Joe Russo on social media, who called it a “well done epic.” During his visit to India, he told PTI, “It’s big right now because of Netflix, RRR was a great movie. It had nice, strong themes, stunning visuals, and a really moving tale about brotherhood, in my opinion.

HBO defends JK Rowling’s involvement in Harry Potter series despite problematic stance on transgender community

JK Rowling, whose Harry Potter book franchise gave Warner Bros a blockbuster film franchise, is also associated with its upcoming HBO series.

JK Rowling has remained decidedly steadfast on her controversial stance on the transgender community. In a statement to Variety, HBO explained why the author is still involved in its upcoming series on Harry Potter despite her problematic gender politics.

What HBO said

“We are proud to once again tell the story of Harry Potter — the heartwarming books that speak to power of friendship, resolve and acceptance. JK Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement,” HBO’s statement stated.

It also added that its parent company Warner Bros “been working with JK Rowling and in the Harry Potter business for over 20 years” and “her contribution has been invaluable.” The report also states that HBO chief Casey Bloys informed the media at an event on November 12 that JK Rowling was “very, very involved in the process selecting the writer and the director,” and her anti-trans statements “haven’t affected the casting or hiring of writers or productions staff.”

A couple of days before that, Rowling had shared a screenshot of a tweet by an X user who wrote, “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined” when the author had revealed that she’s “very involved” in the Harry Potter series. Rowling wrote along with the screenshot, “I’ve only just seen this response to me saying I’m very involved in the Harry Potter TV show and I think I’ve pulled something laughing.”

About Harry Potter series

Warner Bros launched an open casting call for the leads Harry, Hermoine and Ron, who were played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, respectively, in the eight-part movie franchise.

The series will most likely go ahead with newcomers for the top three characters and mix it with veterans for the adult cast, like the movie franchise, which featured Richard Harris as Dumbledore and roped in Michael Gambon after his death. Late star Maggie Smith played Professor McGonagall, and Alan Rickman starred as Professor Snape.

Mark Rylance, 64, who won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2016 for his work in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, is reportedly at the top of the casting wishlist to play Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
