Hollywood legend James Cameron has once again shown his admiration for Indian cinema, especially for filmmaker SS Rajamouli, during a recent interaction that has now gone viral among fans. Cameron, known worldwide for creating blockbuster films like Avatar, Titanic, and Terminator, made a surprising and exciting statement that has thrilled movie lovers across India.
During a conversation about global filmmaking, Cameron said he would love to visit SS Rajamouli’s film set someday. In a light‑hearted yet sincere tone, he added, “You can give me a camera and I’m gonna take a few shots for you like a second‑unit director.” This comment has sparked huge excitement, as it hints at the possibility of two of the world’s most creative filmmakers sharing space on the same set.
The admiration between Cameron and Rajamouli is not new. After watching RRR, Cameron had praised Rajamouli’s storytelling, action design, and emotional depth. He even told Rajamouli that he could direct a Hollywood film if he wished. Now, with Cameron expressing interest in working on Rajamouli’s set, fans are imagining what a collaboration between the two visionaries might look like.
The timing of Cameron’s comment has also drawn attention because Rajamouli is currently working on his highly anticipated film starring Mahesh Babu. The movie, often referred to as SSMB29, is expected to be a large‑scale action‑adventure inspired by global storytelling styles. Recent reports suggest that parts of the film may be shot in Varanasi, adding to the cultural and visual richness of the project. Fans are now wondering whether Cameron’s visit could happen during this shoot.
Meanwhile, Cameron is busy with the next installment of his Avatar franchise, titled Avatar: Fire and Ash. The film continues to push the boundaries of visual effects and world‑building, something Rajamouli himself is known for in Indian cinema. The mutual respect between the two directors has created a bridge between Hollywood and Indian filmmaking, inspiring fans and creators alike.
Cameron’s playful offer to operate a camera on Rajamouli’s set has become a trending topic on social media, with fans celebrating the possibility of two cinematic giants coming together. Whether this collaboration actually happens or remains a moment of admiration, the excitement it has generated shows how deeply global cinema is connected today.
