"After a busy year of work and travelling I’ve finally checked a couple of things off my list 1) finished my taxes (I know the irony) and 2) watched RRR. HOLY COW you'll weren’t kidding." He also stated that every time he watches an Indian action film, he feels like he is working in the 'wrong country.'

"Anytime I watch an Indian action film I feel like I’m working in the wrong country," Daniel wrote on his Twitter handle. He further noted, "What really struck me is, while a lot of the blockbusters we’re making in the states tend to have self-aware, cheeky characters trapped in self-serious filmmaking, RRR was all heart-on-its-sleeve sincerity wrapped up in the most ridiculous over the top execution. So much to love."
