RRR just crashed headfirst into the anime scene, and honestly, it’s wild. SS Rajamouli, the guy behind the original blockbuster, just dropped the news: he’s deep in talks with Japanese studios to turn RRR into an anime series. That’s right. The movie that set the world buzzing, with its wild action and over-the-top drama, might get a whole new life in animation. Fans everywhere are losing it, and you can see why. If this goes through, RRR isn’t just staying in India or Hollywood. It’s about to break out in the anime world, flipping the story of friendship and rebellion into something fresh and electric.

Let’s rewind for a second. RRR dropped in 2022, with Ram Charan and Jr NTR lighting up the screen, and people outside India couldn’t get enough. It wasn’t just the action or the music, though “Naatu Naatu” grabbing that Oscar didn’t hurt. The movie took real revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem, and turned their stories into a wild, unstoppable ride. Now, with Japan’s top animation studios in the mix, Rajamouli says we might see even more of these characters. Imagine the fights, the drama, the scale, cranked up to eleven with that signature anime energy.

He laid it all out in an interview with Polygon: “We have been in talks with a few studios in Japan to make RRR in anime. So I’m waiting for things to get through. Hopefully it happens, and hopefully we can announce a cool continuation of RRR anime.” He’s busy, too, juggling this with his next globe-spanning film, Varanasi, starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, shooting for a 2027 release. Still, the anime project is special, especially since RRR absolutely blew up in Japan. The movie ran for ages in theaters there, and even got a stage adaptation this year.

Here’s the kicker: Japan loves RRR. The dubbed release was a hit, and its themes, big hero moments, tight bonds, underdog spirit, fit right in with anime favorites like Attack on Titan or Demon Slayer. Rajamouli himself is a huge anime fan and calls out those hits as inspiration. So, if this anime happens, you can count on the same wild action and emotional gut-punches, maybe even new stories we haven’t seen yet.

Naturally, the internet’s on fire. Anime and movie fans are already dreaming up which studios could handle it, MAPPA or Wit, maybe?, and what those insane fight scenes would look like in full-blown animation. Fans are calling this a game-changer for Indian cinema and anime alike.

Rajamouli’s no stranger to adaptations, his Baahubali franchise rewrote the rules for Indian epics. But this is different. Taking RRR into anime isn’t just another spin-off; it’s a leap between cultures, and people are already calling it a new chapter for Indo-Japanese collaborations, think Netflix’s anime originals, but on an even bigger scale. Everyone’s waiting for the official green light, maybe around the same time as the Varanasi buzz kicks in.

RRR is about to make serious noise in the anime world. Bollywood meets otaku, and with Rajamouli driving, you know it’s going to be epic. Keep an eye out, this is just the beginning.
