Maverick filmmaker Rajamouli, along with his son Karthikeya and other family members, recently journeyed to Japan for special screenings of their blockbuster movie, RRR. Celebrating nearly two years since its theatrical release, the film continues to captivate audiences in Japan with its gripping storyline and dynamic performances.
However, their visit took an unexpected turn when they experienced an earthquake during their stay. Karthikeya, sharing the experience on social media platform X, described feeling the tremors while being on the 28th floor of their accommodation. Despite the initial shock, he noted the calm demeanor of the Japanese locals, who seemed unfazed by the natural occurrence.
Karthikeya took to X and wrote, “Felt a freaking earthquake in Japan just now!!!
Was on the 28th floor and slowly the ground started to move and took us a while to realise it was an earthquake. I was just about to panic but all the Japanese around did not budge as if it just started to rain!! (sic).” The young producer concluded his tweet on a lighter note, saying, “Experience an earthquake box ticked.”
Concerns for the safety of Rajamouli and his family quickly spread among fans worldwide upon hearing about the earthquake. Thankfully, Karthikeya reassured everyone of their well-being through his online post.
