James shared his thoughts in the docu-film, saying: "Well, that’s quite a compliment. As filmmakers now, we all have the same influences as we were coming up, as we were growing up, the things that impressed us. But he’s (Rajamouli) made it his own in a very -- I want to say, a muscular style, but I’m not referring to the strength and the physicality of the actors."

"Although he celebrates that very well. But it's very…it's a style that’s just got a lot of energy, a lot of dynamism…a lot of it kind of sears into your consciousness in an unforgettable way," he added.
