After setting the domestic box office on fire, Rajamouli's pan-India epic movie 'RRR' has emerged as the highest grossing Indian movie in Japan. In the process, 'RRR' had unseated Rajinikanth starrer 'Muthu' after a gap of 24 years.

Released this November in Japan, 'RRR' starring Ram Charan and NTR, raked in more than 403m Yens or approximately Rs 24 crore at the Japanese box office, surpassing 'Muthu' in the process.
