Renowned filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli was deeply touched by an unexpected gesture from an 83-year-old Japanese woman. She gifted him 1,000 origami cranes as a token of appreciation for his epic period action film, RRR.
Sharing the heartfelt moment on Instagram, Rajamouli expressed gratitude for the woman's gesture, which symbolises honour, good fortune, and longevity in Japanese folklore. The cranes were made to bless the RRR team, conveying the woman's happiness from watching the film.
S.S. Rajamouli captioned the post:
“In #Japan, they make origami cranes and gift them to their loved ones for good luck and health. This 83-year-old woman made 1000 of them to bless us because #RRR made her happy. She just sent the gift and was waiting outside in the cold.”
Accompanied by pictures of Rajamouli and his wife embracing the elderly fan, the post highlighted the profound impact of the film, which stars Jr. NTR and Ram Charan in lead roles.
