A US-based X user attended a Ramayana screening reportedly organised by Sony Pictures Entertainment. She found the film emotional and hailed its music and VFX, although she felt some action scenes looked AI. Also, she was not impressed with the English dubbing and said RRR was better in certain aspects.

Shriya Saran recalled that she was in the middle of her cousin’s wedding celebrations in Jaipur when she received a call asking her to audition for RRR the very next day. The Drishyam 3 actress said that the opportunity to work with SS Rajamouli again was worth it for her to leave the wedding midway.
