S S Rajamouli, who is basking in the attention that his magnum opus RRR is getting after the Golden Globe win of Naatu Naatu, doesn’t want his project to be called a Bollywood film by the west. While discussing the film after a screening at the Directors Guild of America recently, he told the audience that the film is not a Bollywood movie, but “a Telugu film that comes from the south of India”.

The director said, “RRR is not a Bollywood film, it is a Telugu film from the south of India, where I come from, but I use the song to move the story forward rather than stopping the film and giving you a piece of music and dance (sic).”

RRR has been making waves internationally and recently the highoctane song Naatu Naatu from the film won the Golden Globe Award in the Best Original Song category. However, the film didn’t get any nominations at the Directors Guild of America awards, which often predict which films will win at the Oscars.

Rajamouli shared his fanboy moment on Saturday as he met his ‘God’, Steven Spielberg. Taking to Instagram, Rajamouli shared a couple of pictures, where he can be seen sharing the frame with the maestro director along with composer MM Keeravani. Rajamouli captioned a picture, “I just met GOD!!!’’
