One after another - after the French Cinematheque, this time where CINEMA was born, Institut Lumiére, LYON! 🥹❤️
Just to have his films EEGA & RRR screen at the place where the first shot using a cinematograph was EVER shot is so overwhelming and SSR being honouring with a plaque on their wall amongst the greats is the most emotional moment! 🥹🙏
Listening to people say that they are discovering Indian cinema through his films and exploring Indian stories and culture is so gratifying! ❤️🥹
Such a satisfying and full filing trip! 🙏🙏🙏
@ssrajamouli have really come a looong way and really excited and looking forward to the loooong journey ahead, Baba! 🥹❤️
The Cinémathèque Française has celebrated legends like Martin Scorsese, James Cameron and David Fincher over the years...
The thing about recognitions like these is that they don’t come from making one blockbuster or one hit film. They come from years of creating films that stay with people, inspire filmmakers, and leave a lasting mark on world cinema...
Words couldn’t possibly justify how this feels. Seeing SSR alongside such names just hits different… ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Having me here in Paris and screening my films is itself an honour for me. But a sweet surprise I never saw coming. It is a feeling I cannot fully put into words. To have a permanent place in the halls of one of the world’s most legendary film institutions, named after the great Henri Langlois himself, is something I will carry with me forever.
My deepest gratitude to the legendary Mr. Costa Gavras and the entire Cinémathèque Française family for this honour, and for embracing Indian cinema with such warmth and love. 🙏
No words can do justice to the heaviness in my heart after the Air India crash. All thoughts & prayers with everyone onboard.
But why this painful series of tragedies @airindia? And now the first ever Boeing 787 crash worldwide? Safety should never be a question mark at 35K ft.
Woke up to the news of #PahalgamTerrorAttack from Kashmir. Still not able to process it. Even reimagining that moment feels horrifying. Some things shouldn’t be forgivable.
