Any guesses, who is at the top? No surprise here, it's SS Rajamouli's RRR is sitting right at the top. The mega-hit, which stormed the box office, has also shattered records on OTT with 43.65 million views so far. Even after three years (1095 days) on the platform, it's still unstoppable. The film stars Jr. NTR, who is also known as Tarak, Ram Charan in the lead roles, while Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn are also in the film, marking their south debut. 'I'm glad both Tarak and Charan agreed to be part of this project. Even if one of them said no, I wouldn't have taken up this subject.

I want to educate that our Indian sentiments are so strong. Our culture is so strong. There's a lot of dignity in our stories. Nowadays, when you see it, it's not a South Indian or North Indian movie; it's about Indian mitti ka stories. These stories are finally coming out."
