SS Rajamouli is undoubtedly one of the biggest filmmakers in India during contemporary times. The maker of such extravaganzas as Magadheera, Baahubali and more recently Ram Charan and Jr NTR starrer RRR, he is one of the most sought-after directors of India. Anupam Kher, a veteran actor par excellence has recently been making a lot of waves for his portrayal in Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files which traces the exodus of Kashmiri Pundits from the valley. And it seems that the two powerouse talents recently met.
Earlier today, Anupam Kher shared a clip where he can be seen honouring SS Rajamouli with a traditional shawl wrapping. In the clip Rajamouli is seen visibly humbled as Anupam says, “How will you otherwise remember me more.” The two greet each other with a namaskar in the video.
Anupam Kher shared the clip, writing, “Dearest #RamaJi and @ssrajamouli ! Thank you for your love, warmth &delicious lunch at your place in Hyderabad! I was particularly happy to welcome you in your own house with a traditional shawl wrapping! I love your simplicity & humility. I feel blessed. So much to learn!”
This is not the first time the two met. Anupam Kher had earlier this year met the director and shared pictures from their interaction on his Instagram account. The duo shared a hug and a handshake during their meeting and also discussed childhood stories, joint families, and cinema.
Anupam also referred to the success of his last film The Kashmir Files and SS Rajamouli’s directorial RRR as he captioned a picture of them shaking hands as a “blockbuster handshake.”
Anupam had captioned the post, “What an awesome man! And what an amazing conversation it was with one and only, the maverick @ssrajamouli at @goafestlive. Wonderful to talk to him about joint families, childhood stories, our epics and of course about life in cinema! Jai Ho!”
