Cameron said it’s vital for filmmakers to discuss their creative process. “I want to visit your set sometime. Can I come?” he asked. Rajamouli replied, “It would be the greatest honor. Not just my unit, but the entire Telugu industry will welcome you.”

Cameron asked about the Varanasi movie. Rajamouli replied, “Yes sir, we’ve been shooting for a year with 8 months left.” Cameron joked, “If there’s any fun, like scenes with tigers, let me know, I’ll come.” Rajamouli just laughed.

Later, Rajamouli asked Cameron some interesting questions, like how he created such complex characters in Avatar. This interview helps promote Avatar 3 in India and boosts Rajamouli’s goal of taking Varanasi to a global level.
