SS Rajamouli has become one of the most sought-after directors post the humongous global success of his film RRR. While the filmmaker is eyeing Oscar as well as BAFTA nominations for the magnum opus, he is leaving no stone unturned in giving the best shot at promotions. Now, as all eyes are on Golden Globes, where RRR scored two nominations - Best Non-English Language Film and Best Original Song for Naatu Naatu, Rajamouli will be appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Rajamouli is the first Telugu director to make his US talk show debut. The show is said to premiere on January 9 (US time zone). Confirming the news, film critic J Hurtado tweeted, "Can't make it to the @ChineseTheatres screening of #RRRMovie tomorrow? Don't worry, #SSRajamouli will be guesting on @LateNightSeth so you can still get your SSR fix! Someone record it for us!"
