S. S. Rajamouli has received a prestigious honour from La Cinémathèque Française, one of the world’s most respected film institutions in Paris. The Baahubali director is currently in France, where some of his most popular films are being screened as part of a special event celebrating his journey as a filmmaker.
With nearly 80% of Varanasi already completed, Rajamouli seems to be making the most of the break before filming resumes. Since the remaining scenes will be shot once the cast and crew are available, the director has been travelling across different countries, promoting himself and creating more excitement around his upcoming film.
Sharing the news on social media, Rajamouli revealed that the film institution surprised him by giving him a permanent place in its building, an honour he said he would cherish forever. He thanked legendary filmmaker Costa-Gavras and the entire team at La Cinémathèque Française for recognising his work and showing so much love towards Indian cinema.
